THE AGE OF AQUARIUS

From where I stand (in New York City) I see a tremendous shift toward the peace, love and flower child days of the 60’s in mainstream fashion. Embroidered jeans, protest T-shirts and flower child frills are everywhere, and they seem to be selling. The knit cap with tassels, pom-poms and ear flaps are all part of this free-style ‘don’t tell me what to do’ trend. It is a time of war and war protests, so how close are we to the venerable 60’s anyway? There’s embroidery on everything these days and it looks great. Another Icon of the 60’s, the artist Peter Max, is having a resurgence of popularity as well.

Forever 21 is a Junior Chain store (with over 400 stores nationwide) selling these retro-fashions from the 60’s in abundance. This store is really well worth shopping for quick fashion flashes. They seem to have their hand on the pulse of the fashion beat for young fashion mavens. They are selling a lot of crochet, embellished and embroidered items with bohemian flair. They don’t have a lot of hats, so you may want to contact them at: business@forever21.com. This is what their website says –
