Asian-Inspired Fashion

These are just some of the Asian-inspired clothes that we see everywhere today. I don't really know why there's a sudden boom in these kinds of designs. It could be the color, exotic and aesthetic images...or the fact that the designers saw that Asian patterns are the next big thing in the fashion industry.

We see all sorts of designs in clothes, bags and shoes. As far as I can tell, the most popular designs are (in no particular order):

• Dragons
• Koi
• Geisha
• Chinese characters

They really do look good in clothes, especially when simplicity governs over the design. Does anyone like Asian-inspired patterns?
