Pressemeddelelse fra modefirma
"De spændende inspirationskilder vidner om kunstnerisk indsigt, og japanske mønstre er tænkt ind i kollektionens stilistiske dekorationer, mens akvarelmaleriernes udflydende linier giver et drømmende look til enkelte designs."
I can't think beyond 'incorporated' or 'included in', but surely there is a better term? One which implies that the designers have used their own ideas inspired by these patterns rather than direct copies.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Comment: "Great minds think alike :-) My deadline was yesterday, so I had to think of something - and decided on 'allude' as well. But Christine's suggestion is also very useful and will be included in the glossary. Thanks very much to all of you!"

pay tribute to
The stylistic decorations pay their tribute to Japanese patterns...
There is an allusion to Japanese patterns in the stylistic decorations (not so strong, perhaps)
- or simply reflect them if you need something shorter and lighter.
Just some suggestions.
