Bohemianism

Moulin Rouge bt Henri de Toulouse Lautrec

The term Bohemianism first appeared in the early nineteenth century in France to describe the unconventional lifestyle of adventures, wanderers, artists, writers and musicians.   Our Kashee Spring 2013 Collection was inspired by the famous 19^th Century French Artist, Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, his muse Jane Avril and the center of Bohemian culture, the Moulin Rouge.

The Kashee Spring 2013 clothing is decadent in style with extra ruffles, buttons and buckles, and artistic in colors with all hand dyed solids and tie-dyes. The collection can be mixed and layered. Just pick a color and go from there.

The French Royal Court invented layering as a style, in the 17^th century, layering silk, velvet, lace, and fur.  I wanted this collection to be rich in texture so when layered with its asymmetrical lines and extra detailing it makes for a very rich palette and Bohemian style.
