bohemian

A person, especially an artist or writer, who lives an unconventional or nonconformist lifestyle.

Burlington, where Mr. Twitchell grew up and where he now spends summers, was singled out by David Brooks in his wickedly funny “Bobos in Paradise” as a model Latte Town, a city that has perfectly reconciled the mercenary instincts of the bourgeoisie with the artistic spirit of the bohemians to create an upscale consumer culture.

During 1940–1941, the few Hollywood bohemians that did appear received "harsher" depictions. The United States' preparations for and eventual entry into World War II figured prominently in this decline and change in the treatment of Hollywood bohemians.

Unconventional, especially in habit or dress.

2001, Baz Luhrmann, Craig Pearce (scriptwriters), Moulin Rouge!, Please tell me you're not one of Toulouse's oh-so-talented, charmingly bohemian, tragically impoverished protégés!

Cowell's earlier, more bohemian years are not only the most interesting, they comprise the only part of his life for which one could reasonably attempt to do the kind of work that I have tried to do here.

A native or resident of Bohemia.

A Gypsy, a Romani.

Alternative letter-case form of bohemian; someone known for flouting social conventions, especially someone involved in the arts.

Despite such setbacks - and Rowie had many of them during her career - she remains a true Bohemian in the classic tradition.
