Description

"In Technicolour Dreamin', Karen Moller has given us a personal and critical history of the counter-culture, from beatnik San Francisco and New York, to hippie Paris and London, to Fluxus, to the feminist and fashion revolutions, to the aftermath of it all. This is a delightful memoir by an artist and designer who has seen it all and done it all and who took good notes and thought hard about what it meant, all along the way." William Niederkorn - composer, playwright, NY journalist "Karen Moller grew up in a small town in the mountains of western Canada. She took off at age nineteen, hitchhiking with Jack Kerouac's On the Road under her arm, after graduating from art school in Calgary and went on to dazzling success in the renaissance of poetry, pop music, fashion and the arts in swinging London. The freshness of voice and delighted wonder that permeate that illuminating, often hilarious, personal anecdotes is both irresistible and touching." American Book Review "An exhilarating first-person gallop through more than thirty Summers of Love, plenty of insider hanging out and anecdotes with artists like Yves Klein painting women blue, not to mention Corso, Burroughs and Warhol. Over the course of three decades, Karen met pretty much every hip personality that defined the times." Paris Blog by Matthew Rose "Karen captures the spirit of the sixties when dressing up wasn't called fashion and creativity ruled... Her book brought back so many memories of the sixties that I couldn't put it down." Peter Golding - Fashion Wiz of the 1960s
