Bob and tie and dye cap for a colourful summer 22 May 2022 - Posted in: They are Headoniste, Headoniste values
Headoniste offers its must-haves, a collection of bobs and tie and dye capsfor a 70's summer.
The historical origins of tie and dye can be traced back to traditional colouring techniques used for centuries in countries such as India, Japan, Indonesia and Peru.
From Indonesian batik on the island of Java to ikat, it was in Japan that it first appeared in the 6th century under the name of Shibori. At the time, indigo was used in particular, as it could be used in an infinite number of ways.
This print has been a form of cultural expression realised in countless different forms and patterns around the world.
The tie and dye has been adopted by generations of young rebels, making this style a symbolic representation of peace worn by free spirits.
Available in pink, yellow or orange, tie and dye is making a remarkable comeback in the wardrobe. Although it has been known to be multicoloured, the star print is back this season in soft pastel tones, for a soft summer.
Indistinguishable from the baba cool movement of the 1970s, this psychedelic print with a washed-out effect is recognisable by its dyeing technique in which the fabric is tied and then dyed to create irregular patches on the garment.

If tie and dye was inseparable from the colours of the rainbow in the 70s, it seems to have become more muted over time. Headoniste uses it in pink and orange for a perfect combination with oversized t-shirts, ruffled dresses or denim jackets in pastel tones. The irregular patches, formed by the action of tying and dyeing, considerably boost the fashion quotient of our basics.
From Christian Dior, who named a collection Tie & Dior, to Ralph Lauren, Mango and Ganni, designers and artistic directors are reappropriating tie and dye.
Psychedelic and colourful, tie and dye, which was very popular in the 60s and 70s, is making a strong comeback on the catwalk, giving 21st century fashion a playful touch.
