We are pleased to present a new partnership collection from HUF and Woodstock to celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the most pivotal moments in music history.
In August 1969, the Woodstock Music & Art Fair took place on a dairy farm in Bethel, NY. Over half a million people came to a 600-acre farm to hear 32 acts play over the course of four days. Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, The Who, Janis Joplin and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were among the line-up.
By Wednesday, August 13, some 60,000 people had already arrived and set up camp. On Friday, the roads were so clogged with cars that performing artists had to arrive by helicopter. Though over 100,000 tickets were sold prior to the festival weekend, they became unnecessary as swarms of people descended on the concert grounds to take part in this historic and peaceful happening. Four days of music… half a million people... and the rest is history.
The collection is a fusion of HUF's trademark DNA with the hippie-aesthetic associated with Woodstock in the 60's, incorporating florals, custom dye patterns, peace symbols and the occasional weed leaf. T-shirt designs take the form of festival merchandise, accompanied by special pieces like custom striped knits and a patched M65 Jacket.
Accessories include a patched bucket hat, waist pack and belt along with a bandana and woodenstash box.
