| Öko-look crunchy Explanation: ... sophisticated rather than crunchy. ... urban-sophisticated rather than crunchy-chewy. ... like urban hipsters rather than crunchy treehuggers. Or something with "granola". You may need to adjust these suggestions according to the larger context. (BTW, shouldn't it read "trendigeR Stadt-Chic"?)

old hippies Explanation: Or maybe "former hippies". This might have more of a negative connotation (apologies to old hippies) "Instead of looking/dressing like old hippies, parents..." |

treehuggers Explanation: Instead of dressing like treehuggers... Da es ja eher etwas negativ angehaucht sein soll finde ich, das passt sehr gut. References findet man sehr viele. |

boho look/bohemian look Explanation: Hmmm... also, mir gefällt 'Eco look' nicht so, weil das scheint momentan ganz schoen 'in' zu sein (umweltfreundliche Stoffe etc.) und ich glaube Courtney sucht nach einem etwas 'veralteten' Stil... Ich habe im Internet folgende Beschreibung für den Boho/Bohemian Stil gefunden: 'When we're talking about fashion, the words Boho and Bohemian are used to convey an attitude that describes a free-spirited, independent frame of mind--and a look that goes along with it. It's an easy and fun style to achieve because you put it together to express your own individuality. There aren't a lot of rules.....' Was meint Ihr? :0) Reference: http://jewelry.about.com/b/2005/10/02/developing-your-bohemi... |
