The Reemerging Hippie Flower Child Look in Fashion
by Thomas Cohen
So, it may be that everything in
fashion comes around full circle in thirty years or so. Who would have thought
that when hippies and flower children were experimenting with their clothing
they were actually making fashion history. In retrospect it only makes sense,
because there really was a lot of thought that went into what they were doing
with their clothes when they were doing it.
There are two ways to make the 60s a
part of your look and they are to buy what you are going to wear and the other
is to do it yourself or have your old lady do the needle work which is what a
lot of hippies did. Some of what they did, such as the custom work on faded
denim jeans is rather labor intensive, so if it is bought and it is good work
it is going to cost you.
One thing that was done to jeans
during the hippie era that is quick and easy to do, that most people have
forgotten, is to take the stitching out of the seam at the bottom of the leg on
a pair of Levis. It has to be done after the pants have been worn and washed
several times to get the full effect.
What happens once the stitching is
removed, is an extra inch of pant leg rolls down that has a natural blue and
white tie dye effect. The bottom edge of the pant legs are left unstitched and
are allowed to become fuzzy. There are really so many clever things that flower
children and hippies did with their clothes and if they aren't documented and
preserved for future generations they are at risk of being forgotten.
