The boho style is romantic, comfortable and original in equal measure. The perfect recipe to define a very personal, creative and relaxed style.
The bohemian style is not a way of dressing in which freedom and naturalness take the lead. Bohemian fashion mixes colours, periods, styles, fabrics, accessories… Always with an organic and natural result, but with a wild character.
How did the boho style come about?
Bohemian fashion was born in Paris at the hands of artists, intellectuals and writers who did not hesitate to be inspired by the style of the nomadic gypsies who came from the Bohemian region, in eastern Europe. Hence the name bohemian style.
In the middle of the s. In the XIX century, the romantics took over the baton and, in the sixties, with the Vietnam war as a trigger, the hippie movement ended up completing a style that continues to this day.
