60s fashion

So the 60s silhouettes are all back. To understand fashion, you must go back and understand the history. Lets go back and remember this very exciting time.

The 60s was a desire to move into the future and change the American life style. It was all about change. WWII post baby boomers had made a good 70 million youth for the 60s. The early 60s required for women to wear knee length
dresses but as time moved on, women started to wear gogo boots and mini dresses. what a drastic fashion change. As for changes in the society, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King began the peaceful protests on race.Women's Liberation which was a series of protests to ban sexual harassment, sexual violence, reproductive rights, maternity leave etc. Let us not forget that JFK was still our 35th president and died  in 1963. Crime had gotten 5 times worse than the 1950s. Weed and LSD were a mind opening drug that soared in the 60's. 

NOW EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT THE HIPPIES.

Being HIP
Being hippie is not the way you behave or the way you dress, its the way you look at life, It is respect for yourself, others and of course Earth.
Woodstock was a movement of peace, love, and music in which 400,000 youngsters gathered.
