Nearly half a century later, images such as these clothes have come down as a powerful statement of the hippie vibe to many present fashionistas. Its influence is remarkable and undiminished to this time. Whenever they wake up in the morning and slip a bra top over their jeans, or rock a sheer blouse, or pop on a beloved vintage ensemble, they pay silent homage to the style of that seminal event.
