Style story: Tribal gathering

Globetrotting fashionistas take note - now is the time to pack your style suitcase and head for the American Midwest. The traditional beauty of Native American tribal prints was the focus of many of the coolest new season collections, with uber-hip Parisian designer, Isabel Marant, leading the trend troops with an homage to all that is tribal.

Schouler’s digitally enhanced patterns on structured separates and DVF’s slouchy ponchos, to Marant’s fabulous fringed boots and bags, earthy tones and traditional textures ruled the runways for a look that oozed effortless off-duty chic. Away from the catwalk, Hollywood can’t get enough of the tribal trend, with stars like Kate Bosworth and Nicole Richie addingrock-chick edge to a classic fashion inspiration. Whether it’s feather print, fringing, blanket knits or buttersoft suede boots,make no mistake – no winter wardrobe iscomplete without a nod to Native America.
