THE FIRST AMERICANS




I love fringe bags, fringe shoes, fringe jackets, fringe everything! I want to write a couple of words about the cultures that gave us fringe fashion: the first Americans, the indigenous people of America. I think the world need to appreciate theese people and their culture more than we're doing. Not just because they were treated with cruelty and terrible injustice, but also because their heritage and culture is of great value to to all of us, to humanity. In some way they represent a connection to our own bygone past. They can teach us a lot about respect for the earth and for life, and about being close to nature, a part of us we in the modern world has forgotten. We yearn for this closeness to nature and closeness to ourselves. Maybe the fringe fashion is an expression of this longing. Let's celebrate theese wonderful cultures and their gift of beauty to the world, both in fashion and in philosophy.
