To Dye For: A World Saturated in Color

The de Young Museum has planned a exhibition about tie dye set to open July 31. With the resurgence of tie-dye in contemporary fashion this exhibit can not come at a better time. The exhibit will feature 50 textiles from around the globe, which will show the common techniques used cross culturally in their own unique ways of making tie dye textiles. Included in the show is a paste resist Mongolian felt rug from the 15th-17th century, and more currently a tie-dye gown from Rodarte's 2009 collection.
