Ethnic influence has a lot to do with apparel design. We get most of our ideas from other cultural styles we see from all over the world and incorporate them into fashions our world can connect to. Designers may use a different style but the same print. If people in a country wear an article of clothing to cover up the body, the designers here would use that style but make it more appealing to the American eye.
For example a dashiki, made lose to circulate air due to the hot climate. designers see this and come up with something a little different. An American designer turns this idea into something more reveling and fashionable, because that's what sells...They may also use the same style but a different pattern more associated with our culture.
