Hippy Kitchens is a collection of food-centric photographs, with a bohemian twist. The photos in the Tumblr range from geeky to nostalgic to melancholic—and everything in between.
Food is what brings us together, and the Hippy Kitchens photoblog conveys our relationship with food through old-school snapshots of the way we used to eat—before fast food and drive-thrus became ubiquitous. I'll eat to that.
Implications - In a society increasingly influenced by unconventional, bohemian style, products and brands that specifically appeal to this free-spirited segment of society will draw the interest of these contrarians. Part of bohemian style is about being non-traditional or unorthodox, and if they feel like a company or product has genuinely made an effort to reach out to them, they are likely to feel good about supporting them fiscally.
