Sub Cultures- Hippies.


Hippies, originally a youth movement that arose in the mid 1960's in the United States. They were known for listening to psychedelic rock music, using drugs and embrassing sexual revolution, freeing themselves from societal restrictions. Their appearence made them extremely recogniseable, using techniques such as tie dye to create bright bold patterns, the use of symbols such a 'peace', wearing head bands and beading, flared trousers, and very natural. Hippie has now been transformed and made comercial with the 'boho' scene with designers such as D&G 2008 Fall collection.
