Victoria's Secret apologizes for use of headdress - World - CBC News

 Model Karlie Kloss wears an Indian headdress during the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York.



Victoria's Secret has apologized for putting a native-style headdress on a model for its annual fashion show, after the outfit was criticized as a display of ignorance toward tribal culture and history.
The company responded to the complaints over the weekend by saying it was sorry to have upset anyone and that it wouldn't include the outfit in the show's television broadcast next month, or in any marketing materials.
"We sincerely apologize as we absolutely had no intention to offend anyone," the company said.
