What is bohemian style?

I don't know who invented the proper term Bohemian style. It seems that some people always need some unique titles to divide them, but these maverick nouns are always fashionable hot words. Bohemia, defined by cultural scholars as a hybrid of hippies and yuppies, has been seen in various fashion magazines and international fashion conferences in recent years, although its popularity has decreased now. What is Bohemia? Bohemia, located in the west of Czechoslovakia, was originally a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and it was a gathering place for gypsies wandering around the world. There is a vague definition about Bohemians: Bohemians are Gypsies, that is, Zokan people, including decadent intellectuals. He walks the world as a tramp, does not believe in God, makes a living by the skills of tramps, and is good at "astrology" and "shoplifting".

In the rebellious and free sixties, "Bohemia" was a powerful weapon for hippies to challenge the middle class, and its behavior was purely manual against industrial production. Nowadays, "Bohemia" has become a symbol, representing vagrancy, freedom, debauchery and decadence ... In the field of clothing, it retains some nomadic styles, attracting people's attention with bright hand decoration and rough and heavy fabrics, especially ornaments, which are mainly wrapped in beads and tassels. The matching makeup replaces baroque and Byzantine splendor, emphasizing gaunt and beautiful, gloomy and romantic, poor and fashionable faces.

Bohemian style clothing is characterized by eclecticism. Bohemians walk all over the world, and their costumes show multi-regional and multi-ethnic characteristics: layers of wavy pleated skirts in Russia, pearl embroidery and sequins in India, leather tassels and beads in Morocco ... the most abundant colors, the most changeable decorative means and other hand-made exquisite unification in unruly and wandering. The main feature of Bohemian style is the visual impact and mysterious atmosphere brought by tassels and graffiti, which is called "petty bourgeoisie sentiment with a certain economic foundation" and has a great influence on simple style. However, Bohemian style is not a way of dressing that can be simply armed with fringed lace knots and cotton and linen folds. It advocates free personality and takes unprincipled as the principle way. Making fashion with one stone, one wood, one bead and one cloth is the essence of Bohemia.

On the fashion stage, the surface characteristics of Bohemian style are: layers of lace, loose coat without collar and off-the-shoulder, large flower printing, handmade lace and knotting, leather tassels, beaded ornaments and wavy hair; Its color is achieved by contrasting colors, such as sapphire and gold coffee, medium gray and pink ... the proportion is not balanced; Cutting Gothic is complicated, with emphasis on neckline and waist design. Not only on the runway, Bohemian style has been widely accepted by the public in recent years, such as tassels of girls' long belts, hand-painted knitted hollow or tulle fabrics, strapless loose tops, layered pleated skirts and so on. ...

Bohemian style and Bobo are at least close relatives, and both emphasize people's artistic temperament, rebellion and freedom. However, the nature of nomadic people, unrestrained Gypsies, and Bohemians with moderately decadent culture and a certain "anti-social" nature are basically manifestations of personality. The popularity of Bohemia is far beyond our imagination. Bohemian style can last for a long time in the fashion world because of its unrestrained style connotation, that is, the practice of tirelessly improving details with wild wandering colors as the main body.
