Nathan Hesse and Carmen Gallardo throw back to 1990’s grunge with a Nirvana t-shirt, overalls, and a flannel. The term grunge originated as a descriptor for an emerging style of music popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, which grew into a genre of clothing that considered itself “anti-fashion.” Photo by Allison Robbert.

Katie Sheridan, Chelsea Baer, and Sara Stout fit the theme in these floral outfits. Hippies, sometimes referred to as flower children, would wear and carry flowers as a symbol of peace, nonviolence, and tolerance. The “flower power” movement was largely rooted in opposition to the Vietnam War. Photo courtesy of Katie Sheridan.


Teneisha Finney and Sarah Garcia display peace signs in true hippie spirit. The symbol was originally used as a “V” sign for victory by the Allied Nations in World War II, but was reclaimed by anti-war activists in the 1960s. Photo by Allison Robbert.
