Fringe, beads, and a whole lotta love The Haute Hippie - Fashion lets the sunshine in... Fringe, beads, and a whole lotta love We went to see the "American Tribal Love-Rock Musical" Hair on Broadway the other day and I have to say that the production is still wonderfully moving and that the costumes are right on the fashion money for one of Spring's top trends: The Haute Hippie. [img5188|right]Back in its day, there was the Rich Hippie look, which is what evolved into today's modern BoHo inspiration. Yes, we understand the political references to the counter-culture Hippie movement in its time, so no militant e-mails please like the ones we get about grunge— it's fashion here, not politics! Yes,

Grunge Fashion: Part Deux…

Coffee Beans and Warm Leatherette Grunge Fashion: Part Deux, Coffee Beans and Warm Leatherette- it's all about designer Glam Grunge Seattle had it. Marc Jacobs put it on the fashion map. Kurt Cobain gave way to Kate Moss, and the early 90's are a lifetime away. Well, except in the land of the unwashed, granola-with-a-toke dudes and dudesses where it possibly never went away.
