http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery.html Freaks. That was what hippies called themselves since each usually was considered a freak in their locale. So Jefferson Airplane sings”...and all the other freaks will share my cares” San Franciscan hippies partly looked so flamboyant because a hundred year old opera house had sold off their costumes in late 1966. During the late 60s just getting dressed could be a political statement. In 1967 Georgia there were no shops selling hippie clothing like you saw in the magazines and on TV. Even bell bottoms were usually only available as Navy surplus. Since Freaks followed a do your own thing ethic TO CREATE THE MOST ORGANIC CLOTHING POSSIBLE. people sewed a strip into the bottom of a pants leg to bell the bottom. People sewed their own clothes or altered what they purchased secondhand. And people began to embroider and paint their clothes. Tye-Dye was in and everyone thought they knew how. Even scout troops and church groups tried their hand. Freaks tye-dyed most anything available when the dye was ready. Freak Clothing was fun and costumey or back to the earth simple. People mainly divided into two groups. One only had a few possessions. Another had enough clothes to fill an apartment and thus last between monthly commandeering of a laundromat. Beloved jeans became souvenirs of the road and were patched and repatched onto works of art. Most have vanished to recycling or trash, but a few beloved items are stashed away. We would like to collect a picture of your freak finery and urge you to consider donating it to the Atlanta History Museum or a like institution. http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery.html#0 258af21f-c481-48b1-ba3c-f578ba777cac http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2408/thumb.jpg http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2408/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_225_105"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">home sewn hippie dresses</p></div></div> http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery.html#1 e74bdf1c-3dc9-49f5-9776-b08b146bcff6 http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2456/thumb.jpg http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2456/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_225_105"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Display of hippie clothes and cultural items at our Mitchell House Show.</p></div></div> http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery.html#2 9b387479-dc31-4ecf-8867-0618cf82e823 http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2452/thumb.jpg http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2452/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_225_105"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Mitchell House Show display</p></div></div> http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery.html#3 464097c9-2aad-4996-bdfe-5f4818cbf70b http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2157/thumb.jpg http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2157/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_225_105"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">1967 psychedelic surfer pants featuring my version of Skip Williamson’s psychedelic sun, created for Raisin Bran, mystere’s chosen mark</p></div></div> http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery.html#4 69add412-3dd3-45c5-99bc-165d5161943a http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2158/thumb.jpg http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2158/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_225_105"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Psychedelic surfer pants back </p></div></div> http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery.html#5 145d7692-d2e0-47c0-be39-fc9ab8952e65 http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2154/thumb.jpg http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2154/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_225_105"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">Psychedelic surfer pants front</p></div></div> http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery.html#6 aa077ecf-3f0c-438e-a994-7edb634cc972 http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2124_2/thumb.jpg http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2124_2/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_225_105"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">I’m a £.S.D. addict medal from Great Britain. £.S.D. means “pounds, shillings, pence” and thus means I’m a money addict.</p></div></div> http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery.html#7 28f0bd78-f5b6-42d0-967c-107cdd75f638 http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2123_2/thumb.jpg http://www.thestripproject.com/TheStripProject/Hippie_Finery_files/Media/IMG_2123_2/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_225_105"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption">One in a series of vests for imaginary rock bands.
