Paisley and psychedelic prints, lace, lasi and leather, beads, ruffles and bangs. Hippie chic, also known as boho chic, a style that always captivates hearts, and this time it's on the rise in fashion trends
The name Boho is an abbreviation of the word Bohemian, translated from the French Bohème. "Bohemian" was originally a term with pejorative connotations attributed to gypsies (Roma), which the French believed originated in Bohemia in Central Europe.
The term "Bohemian" later came to refer to a person (such as a writer or an artist) who lives an unconventional life, usually in a colony with other people
In the 1970s, with the Hippie era, for the first time in a long time, haute couture designers didn't dictate all the trends; instead, inspiration came from the streets and the individuality of the hippies.
Hair without a trendy cut, a more natural look and a vibrant mix of ethnic and vintage clothing, the hippies created a unique look that became a style.
The fun and colorful pieces that emerged were popularized, the hippie culture emerged and adopted an eclectic and highly individual look, mixing vintage, ethnic, Pop art inspiration, psychedelic, contemporary, nature, fantasy and ethnographic art.
"Hippie Chic" is exactly all of this with a touch of refinement, more elaborate and a more sophisticated reinterpretation.
The boho chic style celebrates the use of materials such as velvet, eyelets, satin, leather, hand techniques and embellishments such as tie-dye, patchwork, beads, crochet, knitting and bangs and styles from psychedelic to retro.
