Long gone is the hobo boho of 2005 and the Sienna Miller era. Bohemia dressing for fall 08/09 is all about rich details and bold ethnic paisley prints with an opulent and polished touch. “Paisley has been around for a long time, but the print truly reminds me of the seventies,” says Gucci creative director Frida Giannini, who used the paisley print throughout her fall collection.

This season’s hippie has morphed into something grown-up and glamourous, with luxurious embellishments of fur, sequins and precious gems mixed with floaty (and flattering) shapes and confident patterns, all delivered in a refined, slick manner.

Channel your inner folk chick and don’t be afraid to make a statement in a mirage of bold and luxurious prints this winter.
