"Bohemian" refers to a stereotypical way of life for artists and intellectuals, Alison explains. The lifestyle is rooted in the American "beat" movement of the 50s. Members of the movement, beatniks, rejected conventional middle-class values and embraced radical and exotic customs. "Bohemian" stands for a free-thinking, free-being philosophy that favors unconventional habits and clothing, she continues. In the past, bohemians often wore out-of-date, unfashionable clothing that defied mainstream fashion trends. This grew into a widespread embrace of haphazard mixes of colors and fabrics by many artists. Now, the Boho look is a perfect balance of intentional messiness, artistic creativity and vintage chic.
Boho-chic is a style of female fashion drawing on various bohemian and hippie influences, Alison adds. The Boho look is all about creativity giving the person who wears it the freedom to layer fabrics, mix prints and fearlessly accessorize, she say. It can associated with many popular stars and idols of today like actresses Sienna Miller Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, model Kate Moss and Nicole Richie. The newest resurgence of the look has come about through the new ABC primetime show "Eastwick" where the bewitching characters all sport this style with ease.
