Hippie fashion in the late 1960s was characterized by bright colors, bell bottom jeans, tie dye fabrics, and floral accessories. It emphasized peace, anti-war sentiments, and individualism rather than conforming to traditional styles. Iconic British designer Mary Quant exemplified this trend in the 1960s by popularizing the miniskirt and creating unisex, pop art-inspired fashions that influenced youth culture. Her streamlined designs from the era captured the revolutionary spirit of change and women's empowerment during that time. Contemporary designer Nicole Richie has been influenced by hippie styles and tries to recreate elements of it with hanging accessories, flowers, and earth tones in her clothing line House of Harlow 1960
