Native American fashion
Native American fashion (also known as Indigenous American fashion) encompasses the design and creation of clothing and fashion accessories inspired by the traditional cultures and arts by the Native peoples of the Americas. Indigenous designers frequently incorporate motifs and traditional materials into their wearable artworks, providing a basis for creating items for the "haute couture" and international fashion markets. Their designs may result from techniques such as beadwork, quillwork, leather, and weaving. In some cases, however, they choose not to include any elements associated with indigenous cultures.
Fashion design
Fashion design is the art of application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. Fashion design is influenced by cultural and social attitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories such as bracelets and necklaces.

Designers conduct research on fashion trends and interpret them for their audience. Their specific designs are used by manufacturers. This is the essence of a designer’s role; however, there is variation within this that is determined by the buying and merchandising approach, and product quality; for example, budget retailers will use inexpensive fabrics to interpret trends, but high-end retailers will ensure that the best available fabrics are used.

Although aspects of fashion can be feminine or masculine, some trends are androgynous.

Although fashion design in United States copyright law is an intellectual property concept dating back to the 1750s, copyright protection has never been extended to fashion designs.
