1. Native Funk & Flash
The book is a vibrant exploration of the 1960s and 1970s American counterculture fashion and textile art, showcasing a collection of handmade, embellished clothing and accessories that embody the era's spirit of personal expression and rebellion against mainstream norms. It presents a rich tapestry of patchwork, embroidery, and innovative craftwork that became emblematic of the period's ethos, serving as both a visual feast and a sociocultural document of the time. The work captures the essence of the "hippie" aesthetic, featuring interviews with artists and images of their creations, which range from intricately decorated denim to wildly imaginative costumes, reflecting the fusion of art, politics, and identity that defined the movement.
