The Desert Life

Now that Navajo patterns are finding their way into a few collections, it’s nice to see the style first hand. Even if it’s from a distance.

This snap comes from MoMA’s current exhibit on photography in the American west, courtesy of a typically brainy Slate slideshow. It’s required reading for any aspiring Westerners out there. And there are plenty more pics where this came from.

The Navajo look has been building steam for a while now, even if you won’t be able to get your hands on most of it before Fall ’09. These jackets from April77 and Rogues Gallery are only the beginning.

The Navajo print style just popped up again, this time in a V-Man editorial spread lensed by no less than Mr. Karl Lagerfeld. It’s not on anyone’s clothes, but the Bixby-ish football gear fits surprisingly well with the old America blanket they’re sitting on. Maybe a few ponchos are in order?

The Fine Print

Don’t say we didn’t warn you…

[This polo] from Japan’s Neighborhood takes an unusually direct approach to the Navajo look, taking one of the busier patterns and splashing it all over a loose collared polo shirt. It might be a bit more than we bargained for on its own—the eye can only take so much—but enough neutral layering might do the trick.
