Art Nouveau

It was this psychedelic era back then in the 60's that has inspired the world of today in so many different ways. From this era we now have many festivals worldwide, it obviously began with the very first music festivals in the 1960's such as Woodstock, a very famous one. It was at these festivals that everyone came together in love and harmony, celebrated the love they all shared for the music being played and often took part in the taking of recreational drugs. We now have festivals in the UK which are Woodstock inspired such as Leeds Festival, Reading Festival and Woodstock Festival is still actually going. I do actually attend these festivals and I think its great how this is a trend that begun so long ago but is still being celebrated by thousands of people across the world. Even the fashion trends for the festival are still very very similar E.g, lots of tie dye prints, flowers in peoples hair and faces painted. These first two pictures show Leeds Festival back in 1975 and the two pictures below that are me and my friends at the festival in 2012. Its great to see the generations carrying on the festival spirit!
