Tarina Tarantino’s Fall 2009 collection “Electric Koolade” was inspired by the rave culture of the mid 1990s and the current revival of acid tones from that era. This collection takes a fantastical journey through the outdoor music festivals worldwide including Coachella in Indio, California and Glastonbury in the UK. Bands such as MGMT, hyper-psychedelia and neon-bohemian music culture also influence the colorful hairpieces and sparkling floral necklaces, mix match elements and various components including coconut shell flowers and resin bangles. Many pieces from the collection are made from refurbished or vintage stones and components much like the “kids” at the festivals wear vintage or customized clothing. More pics after the jump…

LOVE this collection! Will be really fun and whimsical… that headress is boss!
LOL. The artist statement has me howling! TT’s points of reference/inspiration are irrelevant, and her collection is dated. It neither evokes (nor “revives”) a feeling of mid 90s uk/berlin electronic music culture, nor does it add to any music currently being produced now (or in the case of MGMT, ~4 years ago… not knocking on them though, they do know how to craft a good pop song).
Whenever I browse photos of her collections, they’re always gaudy and lack any forecast of trend.
Just my $0.02.
A fairytale fantasy come true!
Gee I agree with you 95%. This is the first time however that i actually like anything she’s making. I went to her flagship and the jewelry is overpriced and cheap. Those hair barrettes or whatever they’re supposed to be is hideous.
i LOVE the dangly feather headpiece–wish it was a (single) earring though!
