Later, in the XVIII century, their student style was adopted by French art students, who challenged the traditions of a conservative society and rejected private property and moral principles. And in the XX century, the "bohemian" style became the basis of the hippie youth style.

The modern style of boho is not only a manifestation of individual freedom and independence from fashion trends, but also environmental friendliness and respect for natural resources. Reuse, alteration, restoration of things - that is what this fashionable style calls for today. Moreover, even some famous designers resort to such techniques. Vintage combined with handmade work is the most relevant trend today in this style.
