Summary/Abstract: The influence of various cultures on fashion has become increasingly significant, especially with the rise of globalization and mass media. Traditional garments from different nations are now seamlessly incorporated into everyday attire, as the fashion industry has unified these elements into a globally accessible aesthetic system. However, it is crucial to recognize that the globally recognized dress of Western civilization today is not solely shaped by European cultural influences. Motifs, shapes, and materials from other cultures – such as Japanese kimonos, Scottish tartans, and the Indian sari –contribute to cultural diversity and the creation of international style trends.
