Balenciaga had one of the most popular runway collections this autumn, and subsequently inspired the uber-edgy trend - Boho - tec. Yet some how, Boho - tec has been left behind amid the 1940's, shades of berry and luxe leather, begging the question - Have we shunned Boho - tec?The august edition of British Vogue featured a fascinating editorial entitled To the Ends of the Earth. The shoot captured in Papua new Guinea, displayed an eccentric concoction of colourful tribal clothes and western extravagances, creating the same global mix seen on Balenciaga's a/w runway. Boho - tec is all about contrast, mixture and clashing. Balenciaga have created a truly unique collection that entertains a wide spectrum of different influences - campus chic, country club, old European military, desert trek, Russian winter furs, African prints, Oriental silks and hippy tie- dye patterns. The look celebrates the travelling bohemian; multi culture in fashion.
