With recent climate changes looming, gas prices soaring, and clogged arteries impending, we have become a little more conscious of the fragility of life. Going organic is now no longer just a "health nut" alternative but an accepted way of life. But while "ecochic" and "green" are now catchphrases on everyone's tongue, few are willing to utter the word, or shall I say, stigma, "hippie."
The cynicism of the late 90's may have tainted that word, but its increasingly obvious that its ideal still lingers. It is finding its way back into our collective consciousness as peace signs re-emerge on T-shirts, Native American-inspire headbands and feathers adorn tresses, and Navajo print-dresses, sandals, and jewelry show up on runways (see Anna Sui Fall 08 collection).
As we begin to brace ourselves to once again face the bleak reality of a smog-ridden, war-torn world, perhaps a little romantic nostalgia will do us some good.
Stores carrying this trend: Urban Outfitters, White Horse Couture, Free People.
