Trippy, psychedelic prints have designers in a trance this season.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-wear-flared-pants-trend-instagram" target="_blank">Fashion</a> has long served as a mode of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/escapism-milan-fashion-week-fall-winter-2021-highlights-valentino-prada-moschino" target="_blank">escapism</a>, and recently the concept has manifested in a resurgence of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-new-collection-psychedelic-capsule-70s" target="_blank">psychedelic print.</a> A nod to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gen-z-y2k-millennial-90s-fashion-nostalgia" target="_blank">&lsquo;70s nostalgia</a>, the acid aesthetic was first popularized among counterculture obsessed San Francisco youth. LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) began circulating on the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/selena-gomez-puma-cali-remix-campaign-2019" target="_blank">West Coast</a> in the &lsquo;60s, and by the &lsquo;70s was influencing fashion everywhere. Back in 2014 the groovy theme made a comeback in the spring collections of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/dries-van-noten-alaia-archive-shop" target="_blank">Dries Van Noten</a>, Anna Sui, and Pucci. It also permeated culture at large through the film Jimi: All is by My Side, in which Outkast&#39;s Andr&eacute; Benjamin plays Hendrix and in Paul Thomas Anderson&rsquo;s trippy neo-noir adaptation of Inherent Vice.&nbsp;

Now, a second wave of whirling graphics has flooded both Instagram and high fashion runways.
