Pocahontas Pretty Edit
Native American Fashion

If a modern-day Pocahontas wore couture, it might look something like this. If you’re seeking sartorial inspiration for next season’s wardrobe, the famous New World princess may be a good icon.

Native American influences were seen in many Spring/Summer 2008 runway collections, from prints and fabrics to shapes and details like tassels.
