nguyenp, you are so funny!
My lonely Apache boy is waiting for the beautiful princess for too long! Still waiting... Sparkle's reveal is a good sign that we are going to see princess soon. 
Ah, the squaw arrives! Much better than Tzapoff's 1st indian. So funny that a French designer is so obsessed with the American Indians...here's some more of his work:

I prefer Kermit Oliver's depictions of Native American peoples- somehow, they just seem more "authentic".

Hahah yes this is no good for your wallet, but they are such a beautiful pair. Princess Wa'ko'ni will definitely take both of our and apache's heart away
I think this is also cue for us to pair the scarves together and do those special knots/ tie them into gorgeous silk tops!
These look like western europeans in Native American costume. KO rules when it comes to the American Southwest.
Absolutely! I recently found a GM Pani La Shar Pawnee and I was SOO happy...It's one of my HG!
Congratulations! It is a great piece- at one point, more screens were used on the chief's face than on any other design. Not sure if this is still the case.
BTW, I wonder why they went to a French artist to come up with these designs that supposedly capture part of the American experience and fabric of native peoples- would Hermes select an American artist to come up with a design depicting the French Revolution? They should have stayed with Mr. Oliver imo.
I rather agree toujours*chic, but it seems Tzapoff has made a career out of indian portraits. BTW 45 screens in the original, but I found the design a bit klutzy as the indian is abruptly cut off at chest level. His squaw looks better.
I may have put his website (gallery) on here before but it is interesting:

I should add that as a Wyoming native I feel a bit, shall we say, robbed?
Re: Kermit. I can't wait to see what his new Texas scarf will look like (I think Spring 2013).
This is great news! I had no idea he will be making a new scarf design, I can't wait either!!! He really is one of my all time favourite H designers.....and I'm not even American!!!
This is great news- I was worried that KO was retired from producing new designs for Hermes. Def something to look forward to!
