t-a-p-e

t-a-p-e. That’s right, no sewing, just tape: a taste of the future, where imperfection becomes beauty, fragility turns into strength and the sprit of positive rebellion is the catalyst. Imagine the liberty and spontaneity of just cutting and sticking clothes together, free of any constraint, a new technique – the result of a subverted experiment. It’s interesting to see the popularity of this sort of design in fashion; duct tape clothing and accessories have already made quite a hit. I think last halloween I saw half a dozen duct tape costumes; and seeing duct tape wallets is an everyday sighting. Now industrial designers grit & jerszy; whose work has been used by Donna Karan, Hugo Boss and exhibited in major design museums bring t-a-p-e into the world of fashion. I hope that tapes waterproof– see bikini above. More pictures via design bloom .
