Photography: 50 Professional Shots from the Swinging Sixties

An era that takes us back to the Beatles, the first man on the moon, peace movements, President Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Che Guevara, Woodstock, and Mary Quant’s mini skirt…

The decade was also called the Swinging Sixties because of the fall of some social taboos especially relating to sexism and racism.

And of course: The Hippies. Older generations used to look down on them, now, new generations look up to them. The hippie movement had a strong influence on clothing styles, including bell-bottom jeans, tie-dye and batik fabrics, as well as paisley prints.

Hippies are also related to festivals, long hair, free love and drugs, and of course peace.
