Boho - The Fashion History Of Bohemian Style
Bohemian style has, for over 200 years, been an exotic alternative to the accepted fashions of a
given period.
Generally associated with artists, writers, and intellectuals, bohemian culture
incorporates Gypsy, and various ethic clothing styles, as well as historical costume.
Bohemian style consists of loose, colorful clothing and has appeared as boho chic, hippie style, and
Aesthetic dress.
With their long flowing hair and rich, though threadbare fabrics, bohemians stand out
in a crowd representing a colorful counterculture based on creativity, poverty, and an indifference to
social structures and traditions.
The Bohemians, as a counterculture, appeared in France after the French Revolution.
Deprived of the
former system of patronage, where wealthy clients supported the arts, artists were plunged into
poverty.
Many took up a nomadic life style, lived cheaply, and wore worn out and unfashionable or
used clothing.
