There was a project inspired in three etnic groups: Miao, from Guizhou in China; Kayapo, from Brazil; and Himba, from Namibia (in Africa). In which one I tried to observe the ornaments and signs they use on the clothes and to communicate themselves day by day. With these symbols I composed an amount of patterns based on the groups separetly and then I created a collection of 15 etnic patterns to be used in women clothes at most.
