Scarf, 1955-1960
01
Artifact Overview
Although Stephanie Koretz of Michigan was not in the beatnik subculture, she wore this print headscarf around the house. In the 1950s, the novelty casual wear fad added individualized flair to a wardrobe. Prints might reference current events and trends such as the Space Race, Rock 'n Roll, or, ironically, the anti-consumerist Beat Generation-- beatnik-- Movement.
