For this purpose, the study will analyze the Visions of the East in Western Dress has long expressed an intense multiculturalism. This study is realized that clothing has served to consolidate more then to segregate.

Eastern ideas of textile, design, construction, and utility has been realized again as a positive contribution to the culture of the West. The East offers a larger concept in alternative to the Western propensity for tailoring. In giving primacy to the textile, Eastern dress emphasizes the flat terrain of cloth, the looping and Wrapping of the garment, and the integrity of the untailored textile.
