Hippie Chic Comes Back
Posted April 18th, 2007 by Stylish Girl
Here’s good news for those who aren’t into the neon colors trend this summer: 70s bohemian chic has return on fashion scene.
Flower prints, flowing maxi dresses with billowing sleeves, wide-leg pants, fabrics like lace, silk and chiffon, soft leather and suede, macramé detailing and fringes are the key features of this romantic look.
Hippie Chic
Charlie’s Angels inspired wide-leg pants and jumpsuits, leather vests and suede suits while soft fringes in brown recreates a rodeo show vibe. All these bring back a cool, fresh look, something between innocence and sassy flair.
If only the fashion world would inject some soul into their campaigns...
maybe we could avoid such arguments!
High fashion suffers from seriously believing it's own hype, so I can understand one angry hippie's outburst at over paid models adorning clothes of, not only a particular style, but a movement in which people stood against this kind of consumerism. Let's try not put a price-tag on everything huh?
What baffles me though is why you need to spend big to feel comfortable in something. Who said?!!
I'm young enough for my parents to have missed the 60's but I'm old enough to know that not everything you are is on the outside.
Peace
Right... Why can't we just love each other, and not worry about what your neighbor is wearing. Be yourselves!
Being a hippie was about taking a stand against the goverment. Being a hippie isn't a style. My friends and family are hippies and let me tell you from personal experience, this is just sheer exploitation. Please take this down. This is just....garbage. Disgusting skinny runway model garbage.
Don't take it too personal...it's just fashion. everyone has the right to dress whatever they feel like, even if it's hippie style.
Really folks. Everything works. Anyone can wear just about anything as long as they are happy. That's all that matters. So quit the fighting. No fighting over who's the real hippie and who's the faux. Just LET IT BE. =)
I completely agree with you. Hippie fashion is not meant for the runway. It gives the wrong idea of "hippie". For example, some girls in my class consider themselves "hippies" just because they wear peace signs and their MySpace shows of their fake nails on their index and middle fingers.
Hippie Chic fashion is big for fall, and I think its nice that a look is available that isn’t a structured plaid look. I love the ease that this romantic look flows. Boho skirts, ankle booties, sweater vests, ruffles and fringe, all in warm tones of saffron and pumpkin.
