Help MOHAI as we prepare for our upcoming exhibit, Seattle Style: Fashion/Function. We are seeking significant articles of clothing from the Grunge era, 1988—1992. Did you live in Seattle during that historic time in our city's musical evolution? Did you go to shows, play music, or in any way consider yourself part of the grunge scene? Did you save any clothes from that time that have a story or memory associated with them?
