The Rolling Stone spread on Jeanne Rose entitled “A Few Folksy Fashions” shows how quickly Hippie culture and fashion grabbed the media’s attention. In the article, Rose shared with Rolling Stone her theory why her clothes became so popular: “If you can free your body, you can free your mind.” And for Jeanne, this began with freeing one’s body from uncomfortable and limiting clothing.

The article speaks to how deeply intertwined music and fashion were in San Francisco in the late ’60s. Jeanne liked to dress musicians because she liked to design “far out” pieces and felt rock stars had the confidence, opportunity and performative roles to pull off such pieces. According to this interview, both Jorma Kaukonen of  Jefferson Airplane and Felix Cavaliere of the Rascals would give Jeanne free reign and total control when designing bespoke garments for them because they trusted her vision entirely. Images in the spread include Jorma, Peter Albin, and a group shot of Jeanne and her daughter Amber with several members of Jefferson Airplane.
