So, the Times is saying that hippies aren’t getting credit where credit is due –- today’s major fashion trends. And while I respectfully disagree (How many times have you read "hippie chic" in the past couple months?), they may have a point. Maybe it's because hippie fashion’s roots are so anti-consumer and anti-fashion –- think Army surplus, handmade, and -– eesh –- tie-dye. Or that the homegrown and natural has trickled up so far that we now we have piggy-bank-breaking boutique eco-fashion. Or maybe all the celeb costuming, see photo, has killed it. It's a conundrum, no? How to resolve the disconnect between a stack of $1,400 bracelets and the desire to look down at your arm and marvel at your own "soulfullness." Power to the people, it ain't.
