'Indian' fashions hit the runway

FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 2002

John Galliano of Christian Dior debuted on Thursday what the press calls women's clothing inspired by Choctaw, Chippewa, Eskimo, Iroquois and South American Indian cultures.

"On came some models dressed as citified Eskimos in their high red heels, bobby sox, a tight skirt under a draped strapless silk bustier," describes the Associated Press.

The offerings appear to consist of hats, furs and more furs.
