A study of hippie fashion in rebellion and love

　　　　The distinctiveness of hippie clothing has torn away the restraint since 1950; They rebelled against the authoritative society at that time with slogans, music and parties, condensed the unity symbol of love and peace with clothes, and really conveyed the bohemian attitude towards life.

　　　　In that era of rich robes and big sleeves, hippies who rejected consumerism and capital society did not pay attention to the so-called fashion at all, and clothing was just a sharp weapon to show unity and ideas. However, this kind of "indifference" was planted in the fashion style after the 1970s, so that hippies in the future could better adapt to the evolution of the trend of the times than the mod wind and space fever that shined on the fashion stage that year.

　　　　Everything is born of love

　　　　"Love and peace" is the spiritual slogan of hippies, which leads to the change of clothing and many totems.

　　　　In the spring and summer of 2004, Raf Simons, who always preferred preppy, took May the circle be unbroken as the topic, and broke the gender boundary with loose clothes with oriental religious significance, regardless of men and women, just like in the hippie liberation movement, women shed underwear, men grew long hair and put on elegant clothes together. Raf Simons’ fashion show was even held in the Vincennes forest in New Zealand, imitating the social form of hippies being close to nature and pursuing the integration of body and mind.

　　　　From clothes to attitude, John Johnny Depp has always been a hippie.

　　　　Learn from oriental culture

　　　　Because most hippies come from wealthy middle-class families and have had rich experiences economically, many hippies go to India, Afghanistan, Turkey, Pakistan and other eastern places to "learn from the scriptures" and bring back local traditional costumes such as Turkish gowns, colored rosary, tie-dyeing and Crochet weaving, which makes psychedelic totems similar to Opal art very popular.

　　　　Roy Halston Frowick, an American designer, began to tailor short coats, headscarves and hand-dyed fabrics for customers in 1970. At the same time, jeans have become an important guide for hippies.

　　　　The mixed amorous feelings and Bohemia from Central Asia, Japan or China are all regarded as one of the symbols of hippies, which in turn influences the fashion circle.

　　　　In the spring and summer of 2002, the "violent" Bohemian fever broke out in the fashion circle, which is still burning today. Louis Vuitton and miu miu successively launched embroidered costumes with national atmosphere; Diesel spotted amoeba’s knotted vest, Keita Maruyama’s floral blouse and Andrew Gn’s various amorous feelings have made hippies come back from Indian and oriental beaded embroidery, feathers and various totems. Although they are not ruminating hippies, the spirit of advocating national fever is the same.

　　　　The shocking punk head became the symbol of "hippie"

　　　　Grunge ancestor

　　　　What is Grunge? Grunge or Grunge Rock, the Chinese name is "garage rock". Refers to a style of rock music.

　　　　When we are about to enter the 21st century, looking back on the development history of rock music in the past ten years, we will find that there is a very eye-catching music form, which is called GRUNGE. This word is not found in the dictionary. It is said that people call the mixture of gasoline and soil leaked from cars GRUNGE. It can be seen how distorted this music form is.

　　　　Grunge is actually a hybrid of Heavey Mental and Punk because of the muddy and dark sounds from bands like the Stooges and Black Sabbath. Although the guitar playing of Grunge music is directly from the metal music in the early 1970s, the aesthetics of Grunge is far from that of metal music. Grunge’s passion and music criticism come from punk, especially influenced by the independent thought of American Hardcore music in the early 1980s.

　　　　In the 1990s, grunge was the biggest breakthrough in fashion philosophy, and the spiritual source of all this came from the anti-bone of hippies. At that time, hippies often cut clothes, disassembled the cuffs and pockets of jeans into tassels of national style, and the tops were also equipped with tie-dyeing, embroidery and hand-painted patterns, which was a bit like deconstruction, and also inspired the beggar clothes with a little vagrant color and the rebellious grunge.

　　　　Because of rebellion, hippie costumes have created amazing contemporary society. In the 1980s, this rebellious spirit was passed on to punk, and the tactics became more and more fierce. The peace of hippies has become a kind of destruction from Britain, but the spirit of clothing can be seen in the same strain, for example, the Indian national style is an example; Hippies advocate Indian totem and feather decoration, but punk sticks out a shocking punk head from Indian hairstyle.
