English term or phrase: righe e quadri [a/da] Katsuo
Hello, hope someone can give me a quick hand with this line. I'm revising some marketing copy and I'm a bit stuck on this part.

Original English is "the gradient stripe pattern of the tuna fish is the inspiration behind the collection’s Katsuo stripes and checks," (Katsuo being the Japanese word for Skipjack Tuna).

Translator provided "le sfumature del tonno sono la fonte d’ispirazione della collezione Katsuo a righe e quadri." This is not correct, as Katsuo is not the name of the collection, but just describing the inspiration for the pattern.

I want to fix it to ""le sfumature del tonno sono la fonte d’ispirazione delle righe e dei quadri Katsuo della collezione" or maybe "del motivo a righe e quadri Katsuo della collezione," but I can't decide whether it needs a preposition before "Katsuo."

Do either of those options sound right as is?
