Foho
n.— «Now Boho is back, albeit in a new incarnation informed by a folk aesthetic. “Foho’” is about a more understated, eclectic mix, fusing classic Boho elements—Seventies silhouettes, crochet trims and trippy hippie prints—with more subtle folk pieces, such as washed-out denim and traditional embroideries. Crucially, it also throws in something modern like a great big shiny It-bag or über-cool trainers. It’s cooler and far more authentic than Boho and owes more to the original folk look of the Seventies.» —“The birth of Foho” by Clare Coulson Telegraph (London, United Kingdom) May 16, 2007.
