Hippie counterculture has introduced the modern fashion with some popular terms, style & design. In our fashion history, hippies were the first ever culture who introduced the uses of second hand clothes in contemporary fashion.

And hippie attires are very prominent in readiness to wear fashion. The main output of this research is the connection/relation between Sustainable fashion and Hippie fashion. After analysis, the author created a fashion collection inspired from hippie fashion which can be used for ready to wear market.
