Do you remember saddle shoes, knee socks, or crinolines? Or guys, did you let your sideburns grow longer than usual to look fashionable? In keeping with our series on the culture of the Boomer generation, today we examine the fashions of the Boomer generation as we moved from strict rules to anything goes, from covering up to showing off.
Our guest today is Shawn Grain Carter of the Fashion Institute of Technology. Shawn takes us on a nostalgic journey, reminding us that fashion is a business and we all have a choice in what we choose to wear.
