NATIVE AMERICAN FASHION - WEAR AT YOUR OWN RISK!


It's pretty clear now that no one in fashion will be donning Native American costumes for fun.  First Gwen Stefani, now Victoria's Secret. 

Gwen Stefani & No Doubt pulled their music video for "Looking Hot" which depicts Stefani donning Native American outfits in a Western style theme after major backlash from the Native American community as being insentive.

You'd think after that fiasco, Victoria's Secret would have taken note but instead a few days later, they sent sweet Karlie Kloss down the runway in its 17th annual fashion show in a traditional Native American headdress, suede fringe underwear, and turqiouse jewelry.  VS has since decided to pull that look from the December 4th broadcast.

Yesterday, on Twitter, Karlie tweeted, "I am deeply sorry if what I wore during the VS Show offended anyone. I support VS's decision to remove the outfit from the broadcast." Not that anyone is blaming her, she was just doing her job.

Oh and November is Native American Heritage Month in the U.S.
