NEW YORK Designer uses Fijian Motifs, call it 'Aztec' PACIFIC ISLANDERS IN NEW YORK CITY TO PROTEST AGAINST 'AZTEC' DRESS - http://www.samoanews.com/?q=node%2F77739

Fijians are mad over a dress designed by a fashion label that claims is is an 'Aztec' pattern...we appreciate that outsiders get inspiration from our Pacific designs. It is a globalized world after all. But perhaps they should think harder about recognizing and acknowledging the source of their designs?
