Ethnic Influences are everywhere when it comes to fashion, so much so that it is barely even noticeable anymore. I remember a few years back when kimono style dresses and shirts were really popular and trendy, and now they're everywhere and in a gazillion different shapes and styles. Like this kimono top for example (http://www.forever21.com/), 
it's been so jazzed up that at first glance you might forget its origins.

This hat was inspired by the African kente cloth, hailing from Ghana. Owners of this trendy headwear may not even know that they are representing traditions and lifestyles of the people of Ghana everytime they throw it on with a tall tee.

I know for sure that my roomates taste is a bit different from mine because of her Mexican heritage. Peeking over at her jewelry box, I see two Catholic bracelets, tons and tons of big flashy earrings, and a rosary necklace.
