In recent years, we will be in a variety of fashion magazines, international fashion conference on the "bohemian style". What is Bohemia? In fact, Bohemia is the name of a mountainous region in the Czech Republic. The main features of the so-called bohemian style are fringe and graffiti.
The hardest thing to articulate is the bohemian style clothing that is popular nowadays. The Gypsies were good at collecting the characteristics of the regions they passed through, so the Gypsy national style dress when they arrived in the middle of Europe was already a mishmash of various national styles. The pleated skirt should be the local Slavic characteristics, the East Slavic, later Russian is also similar attire, all kinds of shiny pieces, jewelry probably brought out from India, tassels and pendants may come from the Middle East, Persia, North Africa, Morocco, taking the line of people. The Gypsy style could never be minimalist; they could not go for a piece of clothing of fine texture and then offer it up carefully; they had to add to it and supplement it little by little, thus creating an elaborate style. Nor could they always keep their clothes bright, and the brightly colored dresses favored by young gipsy girls were always quick to grow dull and shabby in their wanderings, but they would find a way to make these old clothes look as beautiful as possible. This was the true condition of these people, a beauty that cannot be duplicated or imitated by those in the modern world, and what kind of bohemian style is that nowadays?
In today's fashion world, and even in the fashion world as a whole, bohemian style represents an unprecedented romanticization, folklorization, and liberalization. The strong colors and complicated designs will bring strong visual impact and mysterious atmosphere-actually the biggest impact on the minimalist style in these two years.
Bohemia is located in the west-central part of the Czech **** and the country, historically a multi-ethnic region, is the gathering place of gypsies. Pursuing freedom, the Bohemians developed their own philosophy of life during their prodigal journeys. Today's Bohemia is not only symbolized by popular clothing with fringes, ruffles, and large hemmed skirts, but has also become synonymous with freedom of spontaneity and passionate exuberance.
Bohemia covers a large area of the west-central Czech Republic, including the capital city of Prague, and together with the Moravian region*** in the east, forms the present-day map of the Czech Republic. In the Czech language, Bohemian is often synonymous with Czech, and in fact Bohemia is one of the centers of Czech national culture, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries. The world-famous Czech national composers Smetana and Dvorak used music to express their deep love for their native Bohemia.
The name Bohemia is derived from "Boii", the name of a local Celtic tribe in the 1st century AD. The Germans later occupied the area, but the name remained. In the 5th century A.D., Slavs from the east built the Kingdom of Bohemia and developed a brilliant culture. The flourishing of Prague, the "City of a Hundred Towers", is an outstanding example of this period. Another great man born here was the Reformer Jan Hus, the precursor of Martin Luther's Reformation movement, whose statue stands today in the center of Prague's Old Town Square and is visited daily.
It's impossible to talk about Bohemia without mentioning the Gypsies, many of whom traveled the world in the 15th century and migrated to Czechoslovakia's Bohemia, which is why it's vaguely defined in much of the literature that a Bohemian is a Gypsy. Afterwards, they traveled around Europe as wanderers, relying on their crafts to make a living without restraint. However, this did not last long, as the godless Gypsies were discriminated against as pagans, thus beginning a four-century period of misery for them. For this reason, gypsies have frequently appeared as protagonists in European literature. Mérimée's lovely and persistent Carmen and Hugo's "Notre Dame de Paris" Esmeralda, who can sing and dance, are both household names. In the Notre Dame musical, the song that Esmeralda sings when she introduces herself is called "Bohemia". They have the kind of suffering but also persistent and unrepentant attitude, let a person fully feel the bohemian charming character, but also to the future generation left enough room for interpretation.
In the 1960s, "bohemia" once became the signature of European youth challenging the conventional middle-class mainstream life. But this dichotomy collides and merges in David Brooks' book "Bubos in Paradise," defining an emerging upper-class elite, the "Bourgeois Bohemians," or simply " Bubos." Bohemia is interpreted here as an attitude towards life that seeks self-importance and the realization of spiritual fulfillment. At the beginning of the 21st century, perhaps because people were tired of the cold, straight lines of industrialization and the overly strict, sophisticated modern life, the fashion stage blew violently with a bohemian style defined as spontaneous and unrestrained, warm and enthusiastic: cascading lace, batik prints, leather tassels, handmade fine rope knots, embroidery and bead strings, are all the classic elements of the bohemian style. Neckless, bare-shoulder cotton tops, low-cut, gauze-swept skirts, and leather boots and bags covered in embroidery, beading, and tassels have been at the top of the trend for several seasons now.
This colorful bohemian style should be attributed to the gypsies in the wanderings of the good collection of local characteristics of the practice: sequins, colored stone jewelry probably originated in India; small lace, pleated skirt is the Slavic and Russian national characteristics; and tassels and pendants may come from the Middle East, Iran and North Africa, Morocco. It's no wonder that costume designers around the world have become so enamored with them that they can't help themselves. And for the city people who aspire to a bohemian free life, the "wave" style dress can really be outside the 8 hours to let a person relax a little bit, to fulfill their own "wandering" dream. ▲
As for the fringe is not the patent of bohemian style, more concerned about its texture, color and pattern it!
