Title: New pride propels Bolivian folkwear on the catwalk (Reuters)
Description:

A Bolivian vendor shows her products in El Alto outskirts of La Paz, March 18, 2007. Bolivia's indigenous women have rediscovered pride in their traditional layer skirts and bowler hats, making them hip fashion items under the country's first Indian president, Evo Morales. The clothes, long denigrated, are suddenly cool in South America's poorest country as models strut down catwalks in glamorized designer versions of the voluminous pollera (poh-YER-ah) skirts once considered peasant garb.
