Aztec vs. Tribal

The first trend that springs to mind when thinking of back to basics and tribal wear in fashion is the Aztec design and print. It became a common sight amongst high street stores over winter, after being shown in many designer collections of Autumn/Winter 2011. 
Often in knitwear pieces, the patterns are bold and geometric - patterns which have been inspired by Native American and South American textiles and blankets.

Comfortable, pretty and warm :) 

This trend could have an impact on my predicted tribal trend as it could mix in with the African and Asian tribal designs, as I predict that if half of the population does go back to basics, that different trends and prints like this will merge together over different countries and continents.
