Curated by the UW’s Michael Cepress, an artist who studies and works with fiber, textiles, and fashion, the exhibit bears the subtitle “Fashioning Identity in the American Counterculture.” In other words, hippies! Cepress is exploring the ecstatic ‘60s and ‘70s spirit via the bell-bottoms, macrame, embroidered vests, miniskirts, headbands, granny glasses, customized jeans, peasant blouses, Huarache sandals, and tie-dye-always the tie-dye!-that defined that era. Some museumgoers will remember wearing such fashions during the Summer of Love, while younger visitors have lately been reviving the look (sometimes directly from their parents’ closets). Besides the groovy garments, there will be jewelry, supporting materials (Hendrix photos included), accessories, and ephemera from the psychedelic-to-disco era. Back then, the revolution was something you could wear, along with the flowers in your hair. (Opens Sept. 4, runs through Jan. 10.)

Counter-Couture Far from the bands and crowds of Bumbershoot, there’s a different kind of festival going on-also with a strong musical influence. Curated by the UW’s Michael Cepress, an artist who studies and works with fiber, textiles, and fashion, the exhibit bears the subtitle “Fashioning Identity in the American Counterculture.” In other words, hippies! Cepress is exploring the ecstatic ‘60s and ‘70s spirit via the bell-bottoms, macrame, embroidered vests, miniskirts, headbands, granny glasses, customized jeans, peasant blouses, Huarache sandals, and tie-dye-always the tie-dye!-that defined that era. Some museumgoers will remember wearing such fashions during the Summer of Love, while younger visitors have lately been reviving the look (sometimes directly from their parents’ closets). Besides the groovy garments, there will be jewelry, supporting materials (Hendrix photos included), accessories, and ephemera from the psychedelic-to-disco era. Back then, the revolution was something you could wear, along with the flowers in your hair. (Opens Sept. 4, runs through Jan. 10.)

Counter-Couture Far from the bands and crowds of Bumbershoot, there’s a different kind of festival going on-also with a strong musical influence. Curated by the UW’s Michael Cepress, an artist who studies and works with fiber, textiles, and fashion, the exhibit bears the subtitle “Fashioning Identity in the American Counterculture.” In other words, hippies! Cepress is exploring the ecstatic ‘60s and ‘70s spirit via the bell-bottoms, macrame, embroidered vests, miniskirts, headbands, granny glasses, customized jeans, peasant blouses, Huarache sandals, and tie-dye-always the tie-dye!-that defined that era. Some museumgoers will remember wearing such fashions during the Summer of Love, while younger visitors have lately been reviving the look (sometimes directly from their parents’ closets). Besides the groovy garments, there will be jewelry, supporting materials (Hendrix photos included), accessories, and ephemera from the psychedelic-to-disco era. Back then, the revolution was something you could wear, along with the flowers in your hair. (Opens Sept. 4, runs through Jan. 10.)

Counter-Couture Far from the bands and crowds of Bumbershoot, there’s a different kind of festival going on-also with a strong musical influence. Curated by the UW’s Michael Cepress, an artist who studies and works with fiber, textiles, and fashion, the exhibit bears the subtitle “Fashioning Identity in the American Counterculture.” In other words, hippies! Cepress is exploring the ecstatic ‘60s and ‘70s spirit via the bell-bottoms, macrame, embroidered vests, miniskirts, headbands, granny glasses, customized jeans, peasant blouses, Huarache sandals, and tie-dye-always the tie-dye!-that defined that era. Some museumgoers will remember wearing such fashions during the Summer of Love, while younger visitors have lately been reviving the look (sometimes directly from their parents’ closets). Besides the groovy garments, there will be jewelry, supporting materials (Hendrix photos included), accessories, and ephemera from the psychedelic-to-disco era. Back then, the revolution was something you could wear, along with the flowers in your hair. (Opens Sept. 4, runs through Jan. 10.)
