Native Fashion Now–Part Four–Accessories

Here are the great accessories ranging from an umbrella to men’s shoes. The Portland Art Museum is showing the beaded, knee-high boots in the first photos shown below in their exhibit advertising and for good reason. They are special. Artist Jamie Okuma has beaded a pair of Christian Louboutin boots, leaving the trademark red soles as the single identifying element of this very expensive shoe wear. I wish some of my images were brighter but flash is not allowed. Typically museums keep the lighting low in order to protect the work.
