About the Boho Style
In advance of Glastonbury 2004, the Sunday Times coined the term “festival chic”, for a style with some similarities to boho. It subsequently labelled a photographic spread … as “boho babes”, advised its readers to “think art-school chic” by adopting layers of clashing colors and, in 2006, noted that “last year’s boho babe” had become “this year’s boho-rock chick”. A “catwalk”, a refinement in 2006,… , was referred to as “cocktail grunge” – “looking done-undone … it’s what Marianne Faithfull and Blondie would be wearing if they were young now”.
At the end of the 2000s (decade), this combination of apparently conflicting features was adopted by teenaged actress Taylor Momsen, who, in 2010, became the “face” of the British retailing chain New Look. Momsen described her style as “sweet and tough, grunge meets Chanel&151;a giant oxymoron” and claimed that she chose her outfits from “whatever clean clothes she finds on her floor” (“although no one ever believes me”).
In the world of Parisian fashion, the term bobo (short for Bourgeois Bohème)… “that subset of thirty- or forty-something-year-olds who don’t allow their socialist leanings to interfere with an enjoyment of material pleasures”. As such, la gauche caviar [the caviar left] was sometimes applied as an epithet to bobos. The bobo style of dress has been described as “retro-hippie-shabby-chic”, its elements including jersey tops, boiled wool jackets, smart jeans, Converse training shoes and leather bags…
Another British actress Karen Gillan, best known as Amy Pond in the BBC’s science-fiction series Doctor Who, defined the look of 1960s model Jean Shrimpton, whom she greatly admired and had just portrayed in a filmed drama for television, as “messy, waifish, bony”. She herself professed a liking for vintage clothing: “When girls do the walk of shame … I think they look best like that, slightly disheveled.”
Indeed, the Sunday Times thought it ironic that “fashionable girls wore ruffly floral skirts in the hope of looking bohemian, nomadic, spirited and non-bourgeois”, whereas “gypsy girls themselves … are sexy and delightful precisely because they do not give a hoot for fashion”. By contrast, in the first half of the 20th century, aspects of bohemian fashion were a reflection of the lifestyle itself.
Designer Savannah Miller described a “real bohemian” as “someone who has the ability to appreciate beauty on a deep level, is a profound romantic, doesn’t know any limits, whose world is their [sic] own creation, rather than living in a box”.
