​​​​​​ A Curation Of Vintage Finds Inspired By The Legacy Of The Grateful Dead

 

Let the inspiration flow​​.....

 

The Grateful Dead were deeply influenced by the first half of the 20th century. The mysterious subterranean culture that was interwoven throughout early Americana and the Beat Generation​.

​

​​The late 1950's saw the birth of rock 'n' roll creating a whole new sound & freedom of self expression for the next generation....and rest was history

​

In the mid-1960s, they were center stage for the Psychedelic movement, the Summer of Love, and iconic festivals that redefined music, culture, and fashion forever​​​.

 

The Grateful Dead strode into the 1970's continuing  their long strange trip through the mid-1990's.

​

They embraced the free spirited energy that surrounded them particularly within the Deadhead community which blossomed into its own sub culture.

 

Today's vintage-inspired style was born in those decades and lives on in the ethos of modern fashion​​​.

 

Every piece in this collection is curated with one question in mind: Could this have been at a show?

Whether it was dancing through 1960s Golden Gate Park, worn inside the iconic venues of the 70s, caught the neon glow of an 80s arena, or was a staple in a 1990s parking lot, I look for the items that carry that exact energy​​​​
