Description

Tie-dye craft is not only an intangible cultural heritage but also the product of traditional wisdom. However, with the development of modern science and technology, fewer and fewer people are mastering this craft. Since the cost of printing is so low nowadays, no new practitioners are joining the trade and current workers are becoming older. The traditional skills will slowly disappear without any successors. Therefore, the collection hopes to share the culture of tiedye handicraft through this series and arouse attention to this traditional handicraft.

This collection uses blue colour in tie-dyeing as the main colour. At the same time, a collection of tie-dye smocks is designed. Combined with the tie-dye patterns of the printed fabrics, this series gives off unique vibes. Discarded tie-dye fabrics can be transformed through modern printing technology, and therefore sustainable development can be achieved while integrating the culture of traditional handicrafts into modern life.
