From mod to the anti-fashion of hippie chic, we will be breaking through traditional stereotypes of fashion with this show during a period of social and cultural change and learning how events that took place in the sixties continue to have an impact on today's fashion trends. Experience a time when femininity was celebrated and empowered through protests and modeled down daring runways. Women were able to take control over their own bodies and self-expression in ways that had never been seen before. The fashion movements of this decade initiated a change across multiple global cultural platforms, including body image issues, racism and the #metoo era. How these fashion movements have evolved over time speaks volumes about the strength of womanhood. You’ll dig the iconic styles, stories of protest, and stone foxes on the runway. Each look is thoughtfully curated to represent the glamourous, groovy and grungy fashion of sixties culture. So take a hit, feel the vibes and be inspired to make bold statements.
