Abstract

This study identifies various forms of Latin American ethnic styles in modern fashion and analyzes their formative characteristics in a compromised hybrid perspective between the ancient Mayan, Aztec, and Inca civilizations of Latin America and the region’s traditional folk clothing. To create a framework for analyzing modern fashion, this study examined the characteristics of the civilizations of ancient Latin America and the traditional folk clothing of today’s Latin American countries. For empirical research, images of Latin American ethnic styles were collected for analysis from www.vogue.com’s 2010 Spring/Summer to 2017 Fall/Winter collections. The five types of ethnic styles derived from this study were no-cut integral form, tone-in-tone and tonal coloring, natural patterned material, ethnic geometric pattern, and religious signifier decoration. Each formative characteristic was derived from the five types of styles, and images representing the ethnic styles of Latin America were analyzed in accordance with the classified types of styles. This study is meaningful in that it suggests an efficient direction that can be applied to the creative design of ethnic beauty by fusing the formative characteristics according to design elements.
