Winter 2009 Fashion Trend

It's a luxury take on a bohemian look. Part peasant, part Cossack, part sex-goddess rock chic. And it's here for the colder months of 2008/2009 - largely thanks to an outstanding collection by Frida Giannini for Gucci's Fall (Autumn) / Winter 2008/2009 women's collection and men's collection.

Of course, 2009's Bohemian Luxury fashion trend has been a long time coming. With its most recent origins in the boho trend, it's strong gypsy and folk overtones mean that it might be the perfect personification of the foho trend.

That would be selling it short though.

While it is folk-inspired, and it is bohemian, it is also so much more. It has its roots in traditional folk elements - particularly Russian ones - but it fuses in luxury elements and rock-chic attitude.

The Key Elements:

* Billowy white peasant shirts
* Fringed boots
* Folk-inspired tooled leather pieces
* Embroidery and paisley prints
* Charm / coin belts and jewellery
* Luxurious fur or fur-trimmed pieces
* Fringed long skinny scarves
* Bed hair and smudged smoky eye-makeup
