Stop Glamourizing the Native American Look

Recently No Doubt was forced to pull their latest music video for their single, “Looking Hot” because lead singer Stefani was wearing a Native American wear throughout the duration for it. It’s not like this was small news or anything. Everyone seemed to weigh in on it – bloggers, journalist, twitter users, and the Native American community. So I’m a little confused as to why the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show decided to go through with a look that Karlie Kloss wore involving a Native American headdress.

Were the designers and producers living under a rock? As soon as No Doubt’s controversial video was pulled, I would’ve thought that the show organizers would decide to pull the look as well. But, they didn’t. The look appeared down the runway and once again, everyone had an opinion on it and now Karlie Kloss will not appear in the television special wearing it this December.

People really ought to be paying more attention in this industry. #poortaste
