The story behind the book
Flower power: where the hippie look came from
In the mid-sixties, young people in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district started dressing against the grain. Second-hand clothes, Indian prints, beads, bare feet and long hair were a way of saying no to war, suits and sameness.
The look peaked in the Summer of Love of 1967 and reached a worldwide audience at Woodstock in 1969. Concert posters from that time, with their swirling letters and vibrating colors, became an art form of their own.
Flowers were the symbol of it all: protesters handed them to soldiers and wore them in their hair. This book borrows that spirit, with more humor and room for everyone.
