DIY Tie-Dye Tips, Tricks, & Product Picks — Straight From A Pro
Aside from wetting fabric, tying it, and then dying it, more specific tie-dye techniques can be broken down into two categories: bath dying or applying to fabric. "Dyeing clothes in a bath is best when you're going for a monochromatic look — think the strong contrast indigo and white Japanese shibori look. Applying color directly is best when you want a multi-colored effect. When you do that, you can use squeeze bottles, paintbrushes, spray bottles, any tool to get the color onto the fabric," Shabd explains.
She suggests sticking with natural materials (like cotton, linen, or hemp) for a consistent end result and staying away from harder to dye polyester fabrics. Shabd also recommends opting for the cold water and fiber reactive MX dyes commonly found in craft kits, because while still non-toxic they are ultimately less involved than going the more "romantic" natural dye route. "You can use anything to bind the fabric - rubber bands are easy and reusable, string has a different effect," Shabd shares. "You can also tie the garment in knots, sew patterns into it, fold it, clamp it in between boards, anything to create a design!"
"There's a lot of different techniques, materials, and aesthetics — tie-dye has been practiced all over the world for hundreds of years — but the basic concept always remains the same." And according to Shabd, the basic concept of tie-dying looks a lot like the easygoing pattern itself: "Experiment. Have fun. The accidents are always the greatest successes." Scroll on to embark on your own tie then dye adventure with our favorite DIY essentials ahead, from breezy clothes to Shibori kits and Shabd's instructional guide.

The Case For Adult Arts & Crafts As Self-Care
Dressing Up As Famous Art? Count Us In
It’s been three weeks since Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York announced a “stay-at-home” ordinance for the state’s roughly 20 million residents. During that time, those of us with nonessential jobs have been searching for ways to stay busy. It started with binge-watching Tiger King (Why? We don’t know). From there, we moved on to botching every focaccia recipe on Pinterest, followed by joining TikTok even though we promised ourselves we wouldn’t. Now what?
Whether you’re culturally deprived, bored, or both, the latest social media challenge to grace our Twitter feeds might be just what you need to get out of the three-week-quarantine slump. Recently, a number of prominent museums, including the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris, have begun challenging their followers to recreate famous works of art — art that, due to the novel coronavirus, can’t currently be enjoyed IRL. The rules, according to the Getty Museum’s Twitter account, are simple: Choose your favorite artwork. Then, find three things lying around your house, and recreate the artwork with those items. Share it.
We challenge you to recreate a work of art with objects (and people) in your home.

🥇 Choose your favorite artwork
🥈 Find three things lying around your house⠀
🥉 Recreate the artwork with those items
And share with us. pic.twitter.com/9BNq35HY2V
In the weeks since the tweet was blasted out, over 3,800 responses have been uploaded to the Getty’s account alone. Thousands more have made submissions using the hashtag #MuseumChallenge, with artworks ranging from Old Master paintings dating back to the 1500s to renowned Dutch contemporary pieces like Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” being replicated by people around the world, from New York to the Netherlands, using only what can be found around the house.
In a fun and surprising (sort of) turn of events, many of the submissions included the use of pugs. So, you know, there’s that.
Other famous works that have made the cut so far include Rembrandt’s famous (and gruesome) “Head of John the Baptist” from 1648, Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s “Lady Lilith” from 1867, and Albert Anker’s “Mädchen die Haare flechtend” from 1887.
With that, scroll on for our favorite submissions so far and join the #MuseumChallenge today. Who knows? Maybe you’ll learn a thing or two about art along the way.

What I Wear Now That No One Is Looking
Hana Tajima’s Modest Uniqlo Collection Is All About Women’s Bodies
Modest fashion means something different depending on who you ask. In many cultures, dressing in a modest way is indicative of certain religious or spiritual beliefs. In others, it errs more on the side of a style choice. “Within mainstream fashion, there’s been a movement toward more androgynous style, looser silhouettes, and a different take on femininity,” says modest, or as she refers to it, ‘understated’ fashion designer Hana Tajima. “All those things exist within modest fashion.”
Today, Uniqlo announced the launch of its spring ‘20 collaborative collection with Tajima. The beautiful 36-piece collection of long hemlines, high necks, and headscarves are all extremely on-trend, proving that regardless of the reason, fashion at large is embracing the modest.
For Tajima, designing clothing for women who prefer to dress in a more understated fashion is less about the fashion and more about women in general. “I’ve always found the name ‘modest fashion’ to be too loaded,” she says. Instead, she “wants to connect to that feeling of beauty that exists in all women with each collection, regardless of labels.”
“What brings me the most joy is for these pieces to become part of the relationship between a woman and her body,” Tajima says of designing understated fashion. So when it came time to create her latest collection for Uniqlo — the duo has worked together since 2015 — she knew she wanted to base it on the unique and ever-changing shape of women’s bodies.
For the spring ‘20 collection, Tajima focused her attention on sizing in an attempt to create clothing that moved with a woman’s body as it changes, “throughout the month, or even through the day.”
“Our bodies are not static,” she said, “and so I created adjustable details which could reflect that.”
This concentration was a personal one. After feeling alienated by the changes she saw in her own body, she chose to speak out and see if other women felt the same way. In doing so, she realized the emotionally damaging effects of clothing that doesn’t allow for bodies to fluctuate in size. “By allowing us to adjust waist size, and in creating loose but beautifully proportioned silhouettes, I felt like I could make a woman feel truly comfortable in her own body.”
The collection goes on to feature bright colors and original patterns drawn by Tajima herself. “I wanted this collection to feel joyful. To bring a sense of play back into the way we dress,” she recalls. The result: a 36-piece collection of flowing house dresses (perfect for staying inside right now), blouses, outerwear, and modest accessories that any woman, no matter her reason for dressing, could style comfortably this spring.
The Hana Tajima x Uniqlo collection will be available to shop online and in select Uniqlo stores on April 16th.
