The Museum of Indian Arts & Culture has a fascinating new exhibit, Native Couture: A History of Santa Fe Style (through June 7, 2009). The exhibit chronicles changes in taste and fashion from the 1880s through to the present in Native American jewelry, and from 1968 to the 1990s in clothing. Not only a dazzling collection, it celebrates the ingenuity and inspiration that's transformed traditional dress and design over time into contemporary urban chic, while still keeping elements that are timeless.
