And since when did tthe fashion world have a clue. Trompe le monde, the bastards.
The bottom left is quite "knights Templar". Maybe power symbols are eternal, and will continue to be recycled by culture.

The only 'commonality' I can see is that they all fit reletively wide belts. At least 2 of them fit different width belts, though. The designs on them all are completely different. I think what's happening isn't that you're noticing that these are similar, but that you're failing to notice that the belts you wear are different. Just because you're used to narrow belts doesn't mean that's the 'standard' or 'normal' width for a belt. It's a big world. Kilt belts didn't appear out of nowhere. They were just regular belts that people were using at the time.
Btw, the upper left design is similar to the one used by the Templars. The lower left is a celtic cross. To me it seems kind of strange that it would be on a site for urban fashions, unless the person who's selling it also picked it because of it's width and has no idea what the design is.

I don't find it surprising at all, given the popularity of Celtic-style and tribal tattoos these days.
The Maltese cross is being used by white supremacists and some other groups lately (I believe the West Coast Choppers logo is also a Maltese cross).
There's nothing really new here.
