Woodstock

Woodstock...


On the 40th anniversary of the legendary festival recover everything in a style that marked an era.
40 years ago, a couple of friends from New York who used to go to the meadows of Woodstock to escape the harsh events that hit the American imagination, thought it would be a good idea to organize some open-air concerts in the area and invite musicians premises. But what they ended up going out of their hands. And how. During the 3-day festival, more than half a million people lived collective ecstasy and delivered entirely hedonistic enjoyment of music and relaxing life. The year was 1969 and the hippie movement was born.
And there, among pacifist slogans and much rock & roll, a new aesthetic was imposed in relay to cut trapeze minivestidos so characteristic of the 60: the long dresses of fabrics lightweight jackets and suede boots with fringes, oversize glasses round, and especially the flowers in all its manifestations, came to stay for many years. The change affects not only the courts of fashion, but also supposed to release the woman's body, which never would be constrained by uncomfortable underwear silhouettes or compromised. Freedom with a capital "was born in Woodstock, and we have not been abandoned. (via vogue.es)

It's crazy how fashion comes back around. $0 years after Woodstock, we are starting to wear the same things as the hippies did back then.
