THE BOHEMIAN GODDESS

A womenswear style to never go out of fashion, while never taking the spotlight, is most definitely the ever recurring boho-chic. The bohemian style has been part of womenswear collections for countless seasons, it an essential link in collections for numerous fashion houses. The sentiment of boho became popular in the late 1960s, often connected to the hippie movement, and ever since it is continuously called upon as an irreplaceable source of inspiration.

The main boho features are natural colors, floral patterns, ethnic inspired prints and colour patterns, as well as an escape to multiple layers and never-ending ruffles.

Each print has a different tale to tell. This ruffled silk-georgette gown from Gucci will enliven even the darkest of Autumn days. Simply slip on a pair of embellished satin mules for a comfort but strong attitude.

MODERN EVENINGWEAR 

Modern eveningwear is all about bending the rules. Dressing for elegant occasions can be very tricky, as we all sometimes tend to over do it. The simplest way is to choose the glamorous dress and keep it toned down with simple shoes, bag and accessories.

Oscar de la Renta’s eveningwear is focused on strapless silhouettes, opulent detailing and rich textures. You can’t stay unnoticed in this flamenco-inspired gown crafted from floral silk cloqué.
