i think you are right tiamaria, and anyway its not for me, slightly heavy for my mood for next season
...still there is something fresh and slightly more 'extreme' in the fw05.06 version of the 'native' chic..
somehow is a homage to all ancient civilisations, this trend is overlapping native north as in viking, the 'inuuit/eskimo' and steppa/russian influences, its a kind of ancestrory melting pot, very appropriate and in tune with todays cultural mix and 'back to the roots' trends
