The next section, Good Vibrations (Beach Boys, 1966), traces the migration of many of these young artists from the East Coast to the West Coast where they joined California’s vibrant artistic community and connected with Sandra Sakata’s Obiko. A pair of colorful denim hand-embroidered mini shorts by Anna VA Polesny embroidered while traveling conveys this new youthful spirit. Pacific Rim influences are evident in the Japanese kimono form as a blank canvas offering infinite possibilities for pattern and design. Marika Contompasis’s machine-knitted kimono made of rectangular sections, Trout-Magnolia Kimono, 1977, and Janet Lipkin’s Mexico at Midday, a coat made in 1988 are exceptional examples. The section also looks at the art of performance, reflected in Ben Compton and Marian Clayden’s Nocturnal Moth, 1974, inspired by Federico Fellini’s film La Dolce Vita (1960). A range of counter-culture influences, evoking ceremony and spirituality, pervade this section.

It examines a generation of pioneering artists who used body-related forms to express a personal vision and frames their work in relation to the cultural, historical and social concerns of their time. Focusing on iconic works made during the three decades between 1967 and 1997, the exhibition features 115 works by 62 artists. Comprised primarily of selections from a promised gift of Julie Schafler Dale, it also includes works from the museum’s collection and loans from private collections. Off the Wall: American Art to Wear is accompanied by a new publication of the same title, co-published by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Yale University Press. Anna’s International Levi’s® became a signature work of art. She says her cutoffs symbolize love, freedom, the exuberance of youth and her interest in color as an emerging artist. Details include a satin-stitched “IANNA” on the waistband, added “not as a narcissistic statement, but as an intertwining of my name and Ian, my boyfriend at the time,” she said. Other details include the blue Volkswagen beetle she drove, the New York skyline of her home state, flowers, stars and colorful swirls. “They are about the joy of life at that time,” Anna said. STORYTELLERS highlights artists who use narrative to communicate personal stories and universal truths.

People living in random places were coming to this idea, creating extraordinary things without knowing each other,” said Julie Schafler Dale, whose collection of wearable art is the basis of this exhibition of 115 objects by 62 artists.

STORYTELLERS highlights artists and approaches that use narrative to communicate personal stories and universal truths. liquid architecture is a symphony of space, but a symphony that never repeats and continues to develop, is an extension of our bodies, and like us, it has an identity.

The artist designed the cape to be extremely heavy. “The heaviness of the moth is what she felt,” Dale said. “When somebody else wears it, she would want them to feel a little bit of what she experienced.” Between 1957 and 1958, Dale was the compère for Stanley Dale's National Skiffle Contest, a touring music competition.

It is not,” she said. “They’ve used the form of garments, but the pieces were done for private, personal reasons. They were about the artist’s need to make a statement and make it in the best way. The priority was not for a commercial public.” Jim Dale presenting Children's Favourites on the BBC Light Programme 1965/6". YouTube. Archived from the original on 11 December 2021.
