Tie-dying is a technique that has been around for over 6000 years. Tie-dyeing requires a resist-dyeing technique which involves folding, tying, stitching, crumpling parts of a fabric<\/a> before adding dye. This inhibits the flow of dye through the knotted areas of the fabric and that is what gives each piece of fabric its unique print.<\/p>\n

Tie-dyeing was popularised in the 1960s by the hippie movement, also known as the counter-culture era. Western teenagers who protested against mainstream norms and practices, turned to creativity as a means to express their displeasure and angst.<\/p>\n

One of the popular trends that arose during this era was tie-dyed garments. These bright coloured garments were a way to stand out from the crowd and make a statement. Tie-dyed garments became synonymous with the hippies, as a result.<\/p>\n

The hippies were also known to be rebellious and outspoken in nature, and it was due to this that tie-dyed garments were often associated with bad company.<\/p>\n

Gone with the bad reputation at present day, tie-dyed garments are back in trend and paraded down many runways. Tie-dying is also a fashion technique<\/a> that is seen as cool, organic and unique as no two prints will come out exactly the same. Big brands are also seen hopping on the bandwagon.<\/p>\n

In this look from the Prada SS19 collection, a single pink colour dye is being used to accentuate a white dress. To take the dress to the next level, creative director Miuccia Prada has opted to embellish the tie-dyed areas with black trinkets and beads, adding a funky element to what would have been a cute and girly style.<\/p>\n

With the use of different fabrics such as denim and cotton, the use of blue tie-dye helps to give the look an elevated sense of cohesion. The baggy silhouette of Schouler\u2019s look also pays homage to the hippie generation.<\/p>\n

\"\"Justin Bieber sports a tie-dyed hoodie from his own fashion<\/a> label, Drew House<\/em><\/p>\n

Pop icon Justin Bieber has also caught on to the tie-dye trend. His own fashion label, Drew House, only produces tie-dyed items. Most of the items on his site are often sold out instantly upon release. Celebrities such as Ariana Grande has also been seen sporting this look.<\/p>\n

With tie-dyeing back in trend, will you be creating your own tie-dye anytime soon?<\/p>\n
