Ren. Faires started in the early 1960s, and their founder coined the
term "living history".
Wasn't there some early connection with the SCA?
Still, there was a lot of DIY, which I don't think I'm seeing
currently as a mainstream movement.
"Wearable art", while not being exactly mainstream is at least
common. Places like Michael's craft stores carry supplies for making
wearable art, and a few kits for the same.
But what do you call "wearable art"? I'd say it's something more
avant-garde, or arty, than a nice but mainstream hand-knitted sweater.
