Europe's fashion has frequently been inspired by non-European cultures, such as Oriental. Two typical cases are Chinoiserie from China in the late 18th century, and Japonism from Japan in the late 19th century. Some of the most influential haute couture designers in the early 20th century, such as Paul Poiret and Madeleine Vionnet, also conceived many ideas from non-European cultures. On the streets, the young people of the hippie movement in the late 1960s embraced non-European cultures such as Zen. Into the 1970's, an ethnic folklore fashion captured the attention of young people. As the center of Paris fashion shifted to prêt-à-porter, such designers also conceived many ideas from non-European cultures.
