In the 1950s, socialist cultural policy actively counted on the "creative collaborators" and "natural talents" who represented the continuation of the folk art and decorative folk art tradition. Their design work fundamentally determined the style of the products made by Home Industry cooperatives. 

The hippie movement began in the United States in the early 1960s as a protest against the existing social structure and America's war activities. Initially, free-spirited youth moving to the Haight-Ashbury area of San Francisco were referred to as hippies – the term originally comes from the English word hipster.

Designing clothes was a passion of the Hungarian-born American fashion designer, writer and textile artist Mariska Kárász (Budapest, 1898-Danbury, USA, 1960). She made colourful garments with varied patterns, which were primarily inspired by Hungarian folk art. She left Hungary in 1914, but her interest in fashion and talent attracted her to New York, not Paris. She learned to sew and embroider by herself. She visited Hungary several times after that: in 1925, 1926 and 1930.
