Fashion Tie-Dye is On the Ups
Posted by Kamala Puligandla on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Tie dye is officially back!! I know what you’re envisioning: a greying, long-haired Jerry Garcia in an over-sized, swirled t-shirt. But not to worry, the Grateful Dead was just the early beginnings of tie dye, and it only gets better. While you can always find the usual hippie-dippy tie-dyed dresses and skirts, it's the current tie-dyed jeans phenomenon that really stands out.
Tie-dyed denim has been popping up all over the place: on Gwen Stefani, on Victoria Beckham, on Kate Moss in French Vogue and in Diesel's spring/summer collection. I think of it as a softer, more blooming version of acid-wash. It’s edgy, but still lightens up denim for the summer. And though you may be skeptical at first, it will grow on you. Tie-dye is just plain fun!
For those who favor elastic-waisted pants (and who doesn’t sometimes?), tie-dyed leggings are also out there, offered by American Apparel ,Urban Outfitters and other purveyors of hip fashion trends.
Look at these specimens of attractive tie-dyed denim and tell me you don't want a pair:

Please, just say 'No' to tie-dye!
Think tie-bleaching would work?
I don't think these things constitute as tie dye. They are bleached out, there is no dye added to them.
