Ken, there's also the bobo trend...which is heating up because of constant exposure from stars like Mary KAte and Ashley Olsen.

I guess the Olsen twins definitely fall into the early 20s set.

Bobo stands for bohemian bourgeois.

ken...do a search on this site for boho and bobo...
just type in 'boho'...and there will be so much...all the celebs... and also bobo....it's all right there...
abercrombie and fitch is not boho-it is more 'collegiate' or 'preppy'...boho is chloe and any thing that looks bohemian...for a celeb-sienna miller is good, but also kate moss...

there is a store called 'forever 21'...everything in there is boho right now...and low priced for younger girls...i would go there and see if you can find some things for your uncle's store...

i agree that high school (14-18) is when the girls are most 'trend' conscious...with college and post grads being second...18-25...
and though we don't call it 'celebrity style'...it is obvious that most of the teenage girls/young women in the US want to dress like their favourite celebs...

for a good magazine-check lucky, people, US weekly, teen vogue...
good luck..

Chloe is about as Bohemian as my backside...if you'll pardon my French.

But I guess that Chloe would be what a lot of people think of as 'Boho'...

Oui! I agree with you Prince!

I felt that the collections sent out by Etro, Kenzo or perhaps Gaultier for this season were a lot more Bohemian....

Thanks, everybody. My paper is almost set and it's getting some good point. I appreciate everybody's help(^^ Boho style was kind of easy for me to get an idea of what it is, but Bobo.... is kinda rough... I'm gonna do a bit more research on this one. I been to some other websites, but... what I know so far is... Bobo trend is created by Mary-Kate Olsen and... isn't it extended version of Boho style??? I don't know... I also told my uncle about Boho and Bobo trend and... he will probably carry some of these styles(^^

Store below been hot for young Japanese girls and...
http://www.albarosa.co.jp/
This brand is like... Japanese Roxy, but doing much better business than Roxy in Japan. What do you think about their style? I may be able to bring their stuff here, but just wondering what you guys think about their style...

hey ken,
i believe that bobo has been a style for years, & that mary-kate & other celebrities have just liked the look and made it popular.
i think there's a whole thread on bobo

Hmm.. Ken I clicked on the Alba Rosa link that you provided.

I would agree with you, the clothing line really feels like Roxy. I think there are quite a lot of shops/clothing chains carrying this kind of surfwear and youthful basics in CA? At least offhand I can think of AE, Abercrombie, Pacsun, Hollister....

I think that this line may be a little too common in CA, especially since there are too many clothing brands with that sunny surfer vibe.

Seasecrets> Thanks! I think I better make use of this website more than any other sources... I'll check the thread that you introduced me tonight(^^

chiangsi> Well, I agree with you and that's what I thought when they asked me whether to carry this. Albarosa is still a top brand because they're like one of the pioneer of surf-fashion. Roxy, Oceanpacific... all these Western surf-clothing companies came after them. I personally like some of their stuff because these don't look like typical surfer wear. But, majority of their stuff is for surfing-lovers... Well, my relative's store is heavily carrying Albarosa stuff, but mixing up with other import items such as Diesel, Abercrombie, Replay... he's been asking me to find something that can match up with the popularity of Albarosa, but it's rough...

Seasecrets> I actually read through some of them now, and... I mostly understood what it is. Thanks! But..., there is a huge gap between Bobo-lovers and haters. Some are saying pretty bad about it, but... I think... it's ok to wear like that. But, I now clearly see the difference between Boho and Bobo... thanks!!!
