...hand. The Asian Americana segment explored what American symbolism means to the Asian immigrant. Patriotic reds, whites, and blues were accented by Asian twists like martial arts headbands. Some carried books about American history. One model ditched his pants for a pair of star-spangled boxers while Kim Wilde??s 1980s hit “Kids in America” blared in the background. The show concluded with Street Culture, when models exchanged their stoic strutting for hip-hop dancing. The men sported shiny Ed Hardy hoodies, jeans, and hats.
