Psychedelic

The psychedelic fashion fully embraced all the bold and bright colorful patterns of the 1960s. Psychedelic art is any kind of visual artwork inspired by psychedelic experiences induced by drugs such as LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin. The word "psychedelic” means, "mind manifesting".

In 1960s, psychedelic art was popular in San Francisco and some of poplar designers of psychedelic posters were Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse and Wes Wilson.

Psychedelic art made use of beautiful and brightly forms of colored patterns with detailing and such compositions always illustrated the psychedelic experiences felt by the artist.

The 1960s was one such period that witnessed many trends from the hippy culture to people who would love to rebel and be seen and heard.
