Stunning Shibori..
(From Fausto Puglisi Resort 2015)
There’s a quiet revolution happening which originally had it’s routes in Japanese culture but for me will always sing of the seventies: Shibori tie dying..

But now it’s far removed from flower garlands and hippy communes and is steadily seeping it’s way onto the catwalk..

Even Michael Kors Resort 2015 can’t resist..
From MiH jeans who have a particularly fine range this season all in glorious indigos.
But the joy is this is something that anyone can do – especially with inspiration and advice available all over the web:
I love this video..I want to be there and play!
One of the best written tutorials I’ve found is this one from Honestlywtf, making all sorts of shapes and techniques look utterly effortless and astonishingly beautiful..imagine these as individual napkins on a summer table…
Or doing these techniques on a dark denim shirt with bleach instead of dye?? And I’ve just looked….and Honesltywtf have a tutorial for that as well!
Suddenly I really, really want to get my hands dirty….

Oh, good! Another DIY project! I’ll look forward to your results (and I bet the kids would love to help on this one)!
Ohh! Absolutely beautiful. Must try this myself.

Interesting and impressive.
When we draw inspiration from a past trend, would you consider it creativity or plagiarism?

The French call it ‘homage’. 😉
I am having a 1990’s flashback (acid wash), but that Pink coat is exquisite! XO
There is something about the colour indigo that reminds me of cashmere, pearls and my mother’s blue eyes.
I want one of the varsity style jackets like that! Love it! ❤
LOVE the tie-die polka dots.
I still have my Jimi Hendrix tie-dye t shirt from 1970! Faded but still worn to this day…..by my daughter now….I may ask to be buried in it though! I think I tie-dyed everything when I was 15 or so…..love it still,in every new reincarnation. Thanks for video info! Xxx
Love the Michael Kors pink coat and dark denim shirt…
both just look so soft and inviting!!~ xo
love the tutorial, definitely a MUST for this summer!
I used to do that when I was a kid, being part of the activities from the scouts! 🙂
Love all the jackets. 🙂

So beautiful! Definitely a new approach on tie dye or how to make this work in the 21st century without being to ethnic or flower power. Love your posts x
