These two are the infamous love couple - without one, the other cannot go on much longer. To clear your scepticism today we will tell you how these two industries go hand in hand together!

The 1960s - The Hippie Era

The term hippie was made popular in the 1960s. It's not just a mere definition, but hippie represents a whole new lifestyle. Starting as a movement in the United States of America, hippies were the people who did not follow the hierarchy of society. People who think that societal norms are not something to be followed and they take up a different approach to their life.

At that time, many Americans were fighting in the Vietnam war and this hippie culture represented fashion out of the box. Loose and colourful clothes are made up of natural fabrics like cotton and hemp, and long frizzy hair with bands on the wrist and head. Sunglasses are complemented by beads or braids on hair.
