Fashion Week FW11: Native American-inspired Neckwear

S
In the previous Spring/Summer 2011 show, the Roberto Cavalli collection is said to be about a rocker dude who took a spin through the wild, wild west. But for Fall/Winter 2011, I think that rocker dude finally decided to spend a night on the wild west with the native American tribes, in the wigwam under a starry night... and probably the next day already assumed an American Indian name like 'Dances with Wolves' or something, like Kevin Costner in the movie of the same name.

Why am I saying that?

Coz some pieces speaks tribal. Or to be exact, these neckwear seen on some models did scream 'American Indian', which appear to look like what the tribesmen wear back there. Or at least what Mr. Dances with Wolves wear, shown in the pix. The intricate beadwork ornamenting the neck somehow reflect the heritage of the tribes, but in a Cavalli way for sure. Very interesting, looking almost authentic... very innovative.
