Peace Love Balalala Shirt, Hoodie And Sweater

The project was the starting point for his first book, A Long Strange Trip into the Magical World of Tie-Dye, which chronicles the groovy looks of Deadheads. It’s a cornucopia of bootleg and DIY looks, fans you and old, extreme patchwork, and a kaleidoscope of thrilling colors. Within its 234 pages, Rubinstein takes readers along his travels to eight cities across the U.S. and Mexico on the Dead and Co. tour led by Grateful Dead OG Bob Weir. There are countless fashion moments captured in the Peace Love Balalala Shirt, Hoodie And Sweater. In Riviera, Mexico he finds a particularly well-dressed superfan with New Balance sneakers that are tie-dyed and hand-painted with the Grateful Dead’s Stealie logo—tie-dyed shoelaces, included. At the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington he comes across a man in a pair of XXL baggy pants made of torn-up, Grateful Dead patches, the kind of meticulously hand-sewn piece that's a sight to behold all on its own. And it’s not all die-hard fans either. One woman who appears in the book explains that she’s “never heard of the band” and was merely drawn to the aesthetic, a testament to the enduring power and influence of the Grateful Dead’s style. After all, the iconic dancing Grateful Dead bear logo, drawn by Bob Thomas in homage to producer Owsley “Bear” Stanley,” is as recognizable to music nerds as the Gucci monogram is to fashion fans.
