Abstract
Ethnic motifs are very much in style. Revived by designers and major brands, they adorn fashion items sold all over the world – often without the permission of the communities from which they originate. The author, a Mexican anthropologist who specializes in traditional textiles, advocates taking better account of the rights and interests of indigenous communities.
