Looks like Rachel Zoe was right…
(image via The Sartorialist) Remember back in January when I posted the Rachel Zoe report about Lindsay Thornburg’s Pendleton cloaks? Looks like they’ve invaded the NY fashion scene. I found this picture this morning on The Sartorialist, one of my favorite fashion blogs of on-the-street fashion, by photographer Scott Schuman. He tends to have his fingers on the pulse of …
Random Appropriation of the Day!
My friend Yve found this Hermes scarf online. Called “Pani La Shar Pawnee”, it retails for $420, and features a border of feathers and a vintage-looking Native photo.

More Tribal Fashion: Gap "Navajo Tracker Hat"
My good friend Kayla (who is Hupa/Yurok/Karuk from Northern California) pointed me to this “Navajo Tracker Hat” from the Gap (no longer on sale so sorry I can’t link to it). She pointed out, however, that the design looks very similar to the basket hats from her community, rather than decidedly Navajo: (image via http://www.hoopa-nsn.gov) and even more similar to …
"Tribal Fashion": the newest trend?
Jezebel had a great post today highlighting Rachel Zoe’s newest “Zoe Report” entitled “Gone Native”. Zoe points to the work of Lindsay Thornburg, a designer who makes cloaks out of Pendleton fabrics (both vintage and contemporary) with names like “Navajo Nile” and “Walking Rock”. Zoe’s text reads: “As my newest outerwear crush, I am blown away by each one of …
It starts with a trip to Urban Outfitters
I was killing some time a few days ago and wandered into Urban Outfitters in Harvard Square. It’s no secret that many hipsters have an obsession with all things Native (more on that in another post), but I was a little surprised at how many examples I found.
