Now for some history
Free People Clothing is a designer label which is
part of the Urban Outfitters family of
companies. It was started by Dick Hayne back in
the early 1970s in Philadelphia. His original
store was called Free People. As the store grew
in popularity, Dick quickly realized that his
target audience was primarily young affluent
urbanites, so upon opening his second store, he
decided to change the name to Urban Outfitters.
To meet with ever increasing demand for their
exclusive Urban Outfitters brand, Dick and his
wife Meg decided to launch a whole sale division
of the company, which after appearing under
various guises, would ultimately be named Free
People Clothing once again.
That was back in 2001. It was at this point in
time, that Free People Clothing truly embraced
their mission of appeal and nurturing to young
free spirited women of courage and passion. This
is when Free People Clothing, as we know them
today, truly came to be. And what a wonderful
metamorphosis it has been. Just take a look at
some of the beautiful pieces they have to offer.
Effortless chic and beauty as only Free People
Clothing can deliver.

More Recently, Free People have concluded that
their appeal can be seen as if through the eyes
of female archetypes. Of which all women share a
part of, but in whom some are more dominant than
others. This was a revolutionary move for the
fashion industry, as it allowed Free People
Clothing to not only cater to each archetype
individually, but also make their entire line
readily accessible to all, thus providing the
ultimate in flexibility to women wishing to
explore all of their archetypes. A very Jungian
approach.
So what are these archetypes?
Well, theres Meadow, the bohemian dreamer, who
always has her head n the clouds. She
prefers loosely fitting summer dresses that flow
as freely as her spirit, as she wanders the earth
in search of beauty and inspiration.
Then theres Candy. Shes a girly type of girl.
She loves flowers and pretty things. She once
dreamed of a pony, and adores sentimental gifts.
She is full of love and compassion. Pink is her
favorite color. She loves short skirts, and a
more snug fit to show off her feminine curves.
Above all else she likes intricate detailing on
her clothing.

Ginger is the flower girl temptress. She loves
skimpy outfits, and to wear flowers in her hair.
She is in full control of her sexuality, and love
to live life to the out most. She loves tie dyes
and floral prints. The 60s have never left as
far as Ginger is concerned.
Next theres Lou. Shes a tom boy, and damn proud
of it. She can rock overalls or short shorts
with a Tee, and look amazing doing so. Shes
fearless, tough, and spirited. Shell play tackle
football, go walk the dogs, and then slip into
an evening dress for a fun night on the town.
And finally, theres Sandy. Shes the beach girl.
Casual summer wear is her thing. Shes got a
hundred different bathing suits, and loves to
layer pieces with her bikini. She adores
sunglasses and big beach hats. Relaxing and
taking things easy is her M.O. A nice long walk
hand in hand with her companion beside the ocean
on a hot summer night is her idea of a perfect
evening.
