Luxe Grunge

Luxe Grunge (also known as boho-chic or "luxe bohemian" [See "The Times", 2 November 2006] ) is a chicer updated grunge/boho collection; an unkempt approach to wardrobe (a la Olsen twins).

First motivated by Seattle’s groundbreaking rock scene in the 1990s – the modern update contains all the mainstays of yesterday’s grunge (flannel, plaid, layers and leg warmers) alongside today’s sophisticated pieces, including capes, shawls and jackets (" [www.theitlists.com] , Sept 2006"). Grunge elements featured strongly in fashion collections in Autumn 2006, including styles referred to "cocktail grunge" and "modern goth" ["Sunday Times Style", 24 September 2006] .

Lisa Armstrong, fashion editior of the London "Times" referred to Patrick Lichfield's iconic 1969 photograph of Talitha Getty on a Marrakesh roof-top as "typif [ying] the luxe bohemian look" ["The Times", 2 November 2006]
