Beyond Bell-Bottoms and Tie-Dye: What Were You Wearing in 1969 and Why?

Many of us remember the important events in our lives by what we were wearing at the time. The late 1960s was all about social change, protesting the war, drug discoveries, and the awakening of the gay community. Unisex, vintage, patchwork, embroidery, beads, feathers, and bell-bottoms told the world that we were dropping out, switching on, and feelin’ groovy.

Pull your ’60s gear out of your closet and join us for an overview of beat fashion with historian Edward Maeder. Before and after the talk, enjoy the music, get a temporary tattoo, and travel down Memory Lane!
