Eastern fashion has taken the world by storm in the past years, Especially in the twentieth century. Most Eastern fashion is inspired by nature and designers use elements of nature in their designs.The designs range from bold and bright to subtle and sophisticated which means that there is something for everyone in Eastern fashion.

One of the most well known Eastern designers is Kenzo.He makes sophisticated jackets and skirts along with bold vibrant patterns and colours.

We feel that this 'outfit' should be in a hospital, it's not a fashion trend!
But we understand that block neon colours are in as fashion is influenced by the 1970's era and we like the shoes as they are colourful, artistic and funky.
