  • Zardozi · India · South Asia3 looks

    United States → India

    “Dense raised silver metallic-thread and bead embroidery in radiating, lattice and scalloped patterns on navy ground, plus scattered small embroidered buta-like sprigs on trousers.”

  • Lehenga / ghagra choli · India · South Asia2 looks

    United States → India

    “Fitted cropped choli-style blouse with bared midriff over a floor-length gathered skirt with embellished waistband; reworked in tulle with strappy sleeveless bodice.”

  • Navajo / dine weaving pattern · Diné (Navajo) · Indigenous North AmericaLook 26

    Can't tell

    “Stepped and serrated diamonds, nested lozenges and zigzag bands arranged in vertical panels recall Diné rug layouts. Rendered in metallic beading, so it could also read as Art Deco.”
