usic festivals originated in the 60s and 70s, with the goal of bringing quality music to a diverse audience. Since the famous Woodstock rock festival that took place in New York in 1969, these events have attracted people from diverse tribes and lifestyles. Festivals have evolved from being just music-oriented and now also include art and fashion. Summer is the season for music festivals and open-air concerts, and Europe is the stage for several of them. With that in mind, clothing brands have created collections in which Boho, Gipsy and Folk styles and influences are predominant. But what are these styles? Boho: is an abbreviation of bohemian. A style that was adopted by Londoners and New Yorkers in the 60s and 70s that blends hippie chic, 60s visual and ethnic elements. Gipsy: Of gypsy origin; strong colours mark the trend in scarves, textured fabrics and embroidery, and mix different accessories. Folk: The word means ‘people’ and encompasses the traditions of rural heritage and folklore. In fashion, it appears as rustic and handmade pieces. Fringes, suede, boots and floral prints. And attention! The great must have for the festival look are accessories such as pouches, scarves, headbands, silver necklaces, sunglasses, hats and everything else your creativity allows.
