Brazil has organized the first ever indigenous fashion show in the city of Manaus, during which models wear feathered headdresses.

"It is a feeling of happiness and pride," said 19-year-old model Moan Munduruku.

“As it’s the first-of-its-kind event, we are very eager to show our talent, in sewing, in crafts. To show the world that indigenous people can also succeed in fashion,” he added.
