More About Happy Birthday! American Milestones from Lafayette to Today
The newest exhibit at the Fashion Archives, Happy Birthday! American Milestones from Lafayette to Today, explores how Americans celebrated their independence in 1826, 1876, 1926, 1976, and includes fashions from each time. Visitors will enjoy the luxurious silhouettes of the eighteenth century, colonial revival fashions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, right up to the flappers of the 1920s and groovy styles of the 1970s. Historic souvenirs and textiles from these anniversaries illustrate Americans’ growing appreciation of their history and how they commemorated the nation’s founding through an increasing number and type of souvenirs. The exhibition will be closed on Saturday, July 4, for people to enjoy their families and friends and to participate in local celebrations.
