Music and Fashion have always had a strong connection, from way before Vogue and Rolling Stone Magazine got into the game. Trought times, musicians have proved a knack for picking up, and popularizing, international trends and movements. Well traveled and often perseptive to everything new, through history they have inspired everyone from the Lady of the House to die-hard fans. The economic growth of the 50s gave teens their own fashions, for the first time in history, while the music festivals of the 60s and 70s gave street fashions and underground music an International platform. Legendary music festivals have given birth to some of the most iconic festival fashions in time, and they are still alive and kicking. OK, so some of them may burn your eyes, but who cares. It’s only Rock´n´Roll. And Jazz. And Metal. And we like it.

Part 2: WOODSTOCK – HIPPIES
The ”Mothership” of all festivals, Woodstock, was first arranged in the Fall of 1969 in Bethel, USA, and is still sitting comfortably on Rolling Stone’s list of ” 50 Moments that Changed the History of Rock and Roll”. About half a million people turned up for the event, most of them in appropriate Hippie attire; a rough and eclectic mix of Deadheads, Folkies, Cowboys, Indians, Pasifists and Bikers, most of them with more than a whiff of oriental inspiration. Three Woodstock days in a row gave the crowd legendary concerts from big names such as Ravi Shankar, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Grateful Dead, The Band, Janis Joplin, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jimi Hendrix, The Who and Melanie – in addition to two births and two deaths. One by a Heroin OD and one by DBT (Death By Tractor). But he Hippie trend was launched once and for all, and is likely to live forever.
