A Historic Rossland Look Book!

When we heard that Golden City Days was happening this year, we couldn’t wait to put together our annual Golden City Days exhibit at Curiosity Clothing & Gifts! While summer is quickly coming to an end, the summer fashions featured in this year’s exhibit are a must-see! From the high collars and long skirts of the early 1900s to the bell-bottom silhouettes of the 1960s and 1970s, fashion has continued to change since Rossland was founded in 1897. Take a stylish look through Rossland’s history with us!
