The Johnson County Museum's new special exhibit, “Free to Be... A 1960s Fashion Revolution,” opens to the public on June 1.

This exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the world of 1960s women's fashion, with four distinct themes symbolizing the era's spirit of self-expression and cultural transformation. This includes the styles of the Modernists, Naturalists, Socialites and Professionals.

Curated in collaboration with Johnson County Community College's Fashion Merchandising and Design Department, “Free to Be...A 1960s Fashion Revolution” features iconic garments that highlight the groundbreaking trends of the era.

Garments are featured from the Johnson County Museum, Kansas State University’s Historic Textile and Costume Museum, Kansas City Museum, and Johnson County Community College’s Historical Fashion Collection.

Programming is also planned to complement the exhibit, with a variety of topics including fashion designers of the era, civil rights activism, psychedelic drug culture, and more.

“Free to Be...A 1960s Fashion Revolution” will be on display at the Johnson County Museum from June 1, 2024 to Jan. 11, 2025. Learn more about the exhibit at JCPRD.com/freetobe.
