The hippie look as it was in the mid 60s.

The hippie subculture started on the US in the 60s. It was a youth movement whose main philosophy was being free, therefore their beliefs included beings against the Vietnam war, prejudices of that time like racism or gender differences and political/social orthodoxy. As popular as it got, it influenced music, art and, of course, fashion. The 60s hippies' style had a more interesting background than most people think it had. As these people used to be against consumerism, they would rather buy their stuff in second hand stores or make their clothes themselves. Psychedelic tees/shirts, tie-dyed pieces, headbands/headscarves and long necklaces are some of the stuff we're about to see on these pictures. Everything they wore looks original and natural to me. The long messy hair, the women with almost no make-up (or no make-up at all) and still so beautiful. I've compiled all these pictures from various sites (most of them are from the 69 Woodstock music festival), enjoy!

I don't really like hippie ' fashion ', but the meaning of it is incredible... and it really has such a strength, an oniric hope...

Beautiful, beautiful.

That's probably my favourite post of yours, along with the Patti Smith ones. I love the hippies, their attitude, everything.
Beautiful pictures. They all capture the spirit we lack.
Love,
Cate

por qué redactas el blog en Inglés.

es diferente, es cierto, para bloggers de esta zona del mundo.


y sobre la entrada, interesante, educativo explicativo para la onda fashionista que proyectas.

la escencia de ser hippie me cautiva desde mi mama y sus fotos de antes, aunque ella es de la epoca de los 70's

kisiera haber nacido en los 40 para tener ésta edad en los 60.
todo era real.

Adoro todo lo que tenga que ver con los hippies y los años 60. 1968 fue el año para estar vivo y tener 20 y ser feliz. Pero no... todavía me faltaban 22 más para nacer :(

Me fascinan todas estas fotos, sirven para inspirar a la hippie en mí :D

Kristina dijo...

i'm pretty sure i was over there at that time in another life. i must have been, i feel too much of a connection with the entire culture&lifestyle that could've been had in only those few decades.
