Horror or Hippy?
I am pleased with Raquel Allegra’s Spring ’09 collection. To me, it looks like it says, “Yeah, I’m wearing black, and yeah, I’m on a yacht. Eff off.”
The only thing I cannot put my finger on is whether or not the bottom right image is a spine or tie dye. I’m pretty sure that my brain just isn’t accepting the fact that I might actually like something that is tie dye, so it’s matrixing the image into something that I can be comfortable with.

I am in love with those top two gauzy numbers, but not so much the bottom two.

Hmm… Franky too insubstantial for my taste. I just wish there was something more to it.

I totally understand on trickery to not accept tie dye, heh.
I love it, looks like spring/summer freshness… get a little breeze through the black draping.
I need to invest in more of these types these upcoming warmer ( <33 ) months.

I love these. No surprise though, I love hippie goth! Including the spinal tie-dye, but especially the first one. Wish it was paired with better shoes, though. The light, airy black veil of a dress with those solid little booties?

That is tie-dye for sure. I have never had a problem with tie-dye incporporated into the “dark look,” as long as it is in the right color combinations. Sometimes it can look really amazing, like stained concrete or worn headstone.

Ive been wondering the same thing.
based upon her technique I assume tie-dye then she shreds the fabric.
but then again you know what they say about assumptions.
