1967 Bare Beads Bedfordshire Hippies Hippy Mini Relaxing Swinging Woburn Minidress
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the counterculture movement that swept through Britain in the late 1960s, as a group of hippies enjoy a sunny day at Woburn Park in Bedfordshire during a Love-In event in August 1967. The scene is filled with the sights and sounds of the era, as young men and women relax on the lush grass, clad in colorful and eclectic attire. The young man in the foreground gazes intently at the intricate face paint adorning the leg of a young woman, while others engage in animated conversation or strum guitars. The mini-skirts and minidresses of the women contrast sharply with the long, flowing garments and beads of the men, reflecting the gender roles and fashion trends of the time. The mini in the background adds a touch of the mainstream to this otherwise bohemian gathering. The scene exudes an aura of peace, love, and freedom, encapsulating the spirit of the Swinging Sixties and the cultural revolution that was taking place in Britain during the 20th century.
