The Hippie subculture was a movement that began in the 1960's in the Haight Ashbury district of San Francisco. This group of people listened to rock music, experienced with drugs to be in another state of mind and embraced the sexual revolution. During this time Hippies were mostly white young teenagers aged 15-25. By 1965 Hippies became an established social group in the U.S. and then expanded to other countries. In 1968 the hippie fashion was becoming an influence on the mainstream fashions. Men had long hair, they wore tie-dyed shirts and women wore long skirts and everyone was very "natural". In this photo you will see hippies dressed in the typical hippie fashions. Everyone was very natural and was at peace. The headband that the woman wears was also another important fashion piece of the hippie movement. (Hippies at a concert, 1960). The Hippies were also very big protesters and protested against the war and wanted peace. "Love not war" was a big saying during this time. They wanted everyone to be happy and love one another. The famous peace symbol became very popular during the hippie movement. Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2010 collection shows us the influence of Hippies. The comfortable clothing, the printed dresses and the bags and shoes with the fringe. The colors of the collection were calming and natural which was a feeling during the hippie movement.
