History of Aztec & Influences on Fashion
The Aztec style originates from Mexico and was influenced by a long history of tribes. Traditionally, the art prints reflected the appreciation for insects, birds, fish and animals. 21st Century Aztec trends made their first appearance back in 2009 at the spring/summer catwalk show for Matthew Williamson.
Aztec & The Catwalks Now
This June, Diane Von Furstenberg featured the Mexican influenced designs in her 2012 resort collection by using a lot of bold nature inspired prints. L.A.M.B and Missoni also incorporated Aztec prints in to their spring/summer 2011 collections, bringing a more modern feel with the use of bright colours.
The Aztec Trend: Celebrities' Choice
The celebrity world has already caught on to this trend and chooses to sport the look in the form of Aztec printed knit wear, dresses and skirts.

Daughter of Lenny, Zoe Kravitz is wearing an interesting multi coloured Aztec jacket, whilst Rihanna chooses a more sober Aztec shrug.
