BEAUTY: Clothing--Amiri

Mike Amiri looked to Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix, and hippie culture from the 60s and 70s for his Spring Summer '20 collection at Paris Fashion Week. I have a soft spot in my heart for hippie dudes, and these Bohemian boys are luxe versions of Woodstock attendees (the show opened with some nice tailored jackets with a fun embellishment of a trompe-l'œil guitar strap running diagonally, as though the instrument is being worn backwards). Decked out in pastel colors, tie-dyed silk, crocheted tops, beads and feathers and turquoise, and velvet pants, one denim jacket was even airbrushed with the cover of the Hendrix album "Axis: Bold As Love," a move which was authorized by the musician's estate.

The Ecstatic Ballet of Destruction and 1969

The incredible final sequence from Antonioni's film "Zabriskie Point," and a fan-made video using footage from Woodstock for the Boards of Canada's 2002 song "1969."
They go together...

"Although not a follower of 'hseroK divaD' [David Koresh played backward], she is a devoted Branch Davidian." "1969 in the sunshine."
