Woodstock Was Tie-Dye. The Skull Was Also There. Warren Lotas Tie-Dye Skull Tee in Light Blue.

The Warren Lotas Tie-Dye Skull Tee in Light Blue is the version of the Warren Lotas skull garment that most precisely engages with the specific cultural moment that the tie-dye pattern was invented to represent — the moment in the late 1960s when a specific generation of people decided that the way to communicate their belief in the specific things they believed in — love, peace, the summer that love and peace together were supposed to produce, the possibility that the world was on the specific edge of becoming the place that the people wearing the tie-dye believed the world could become — was to wear a garment whose pattern was produced by the specific process of binding the fabric before dyeing it so that the dye could not reach the bound portions and the released portions would show the specific pattern of the places the dye went and the places the dye could not go: the tie-dye, which is the pattern of the thing that flows and the thing that resists the flow, which is the specific visual record of the moment when the color was moving through the fabric and was stopped in some places and allowed in others, producing the pattern that the people of Woodstock and the Summer of Love chose as the specific visual language of their belief in the things they believed in. Warren Lotas puts the skull inside the tie-dye not to destroy the belief that the tie-dye represents but to complete the sentence that the tie-dye started — to add the specific word that the tie-dye left out when it was making its case for love and peace, which is the word that has always been true about love and peace and the summers they produce and the people who believe in them: that all of it is real, and that the skull knows this, and that knowing this is the specific quality of the skull’s understanding of love and peace and summer that the people wearing the tie-dye at Woodstock also knew but did not put in the pattern, because the pattern was for the belief and not for the complete accounting of what the belief was inside of. The Light Blue of this tie-dye is the specific frequency of the sky that the Summer of Love was looking up at — the color of the open sky above Woodstock, above the specific patch of land in upstate New York where the people with the tie-dye and the belief gathered and looked up at the sky and decided that the sky was the color of the thing they were there for. The skull in the Light Blue tie-dye is the skull that was also looking up at that sky — that has been looking up at every sky that every generation has decided is the color of the thing they are there for — and that looks up at the Light Blue sky of the Warren Lotas Tie-Dye Skull Tee with the specific quality of understanding that the thing that is looking up at the sky from inside the tie-dye that was made for the sky has always been there, in every tie-dye, at every Woodstock, under every specific frequency of the open sky that any specific summer has ever produced. Love and peace are real. The skull has always known. Wear both.

Why You’ll Love It

  • ☂️💀🌊 Warren Lotas Tie-Dye Skull Tee in Light Blue — the tie-dye was the color of believing in love and peace — the skull is what Warren Lotas puts inside that color to complete the sentence the tie-dye started but never finished — because love was real and peace was real and so was everything the skull has always known about every summer that believed in both
  • 🌊 Light Blue — the color of the sky the Summer of Love was looking up at
    • The specific frequency of the open sky above Woodstock
    • The color of the thing the people with tie-dye gathered to be there for
    • The skull was looking up at the same sky
    • Has been looking up at every sky every generation decided was the color of what they were there for
    • The pattern of what flows and what resists the flow — the tie-dye’s specific visual truth
  • ☂️ Tie-dye: the pattern of belief — produced by binding fabric before dyeing so color reaches some places and not others — the visual record of color moving, stopped in some places, allowed in others — chosen by Woodstock as the visual language of believing in love and peace and the summer they were supposed to produce
  • 💀 The skull completes the sentence — not to destroy the belief — to add the word the tie-dye left out — love was real, peace was real, summer was real, and the skull has always known this about every love and every peace — it was there at Woodstock too — in every tie-dye, at every summer, under every open sky
  • 🎵 Warren Lotas: the designer who holds two truths simultaneously — the belief in love and peace is real — the skull’s knowledge of what love and peace exist inside of is also real — wearing both at once is the specific statement that the Warren Lotas Tie-Dye Skull Tee makes on the body that wears it
  • 📏 Sizes S – XL — Unisex — Pure Cotton — Light Blue: the sky the Summer of Love was looking up at — the skull was looking up at the same sky — love and peace are real — the skull has always known — wear both
