A designer took an alternative approach to swimwear when it sent its models down the New York Fashion Week runway wearing bikinis made just out of tape.
Black Tape Project, a Miami-based label that mixes art and fashion, made its New York Fashion Week debut on Sunday.
Models took to the catwalk in a variety of risqué designs consisting entirely of small pieces of tapes stuck onto their bodies, assembled to reflect some of the swimwear trends of the season.
Edgy: Black Tape Project, a Miami-based label that mixes art and fashion, sent models down the New York Fashion Week runway on Sunday in bikinis made out of tape
Design: One model had silver tape arranged on her skull and on her upper body, and wore a skirt made out of strips of the same tape
One model walked the runway with pieces of green tape from her neck to her crotch, snaking down her body in a daring green one-piece.
Another model had silver tape arranged on her skull and on her upper body, and wore a skirt made out of strips of the same tape.
Joel Alvarez, the photographer behind the project, also covered a model in teal tape to give her a two-piece swimsuit, and gave another model an edgy black one-piece.
Black Tape Project, described as a cross between 'tape art and alternative fashion', stems from a 2008 experiment that saw Joel cover a model in black electrical tape.
Risqué: Joel Alvarez, the photographer behind the project, gave one model a black one-piece swimsuit using tape
Swimwear: Another model had a teal two-piece made out of small pieces of body tape
Versatile: Joel crafted a black bikini featuring studs for his New York Fashion Week show
Outfit: This model's tape-made top and skirt were paired with sparkly pumps
Pasted: One model wore a bondage-style, black swimsuit made entirely out of tape
Glittery: One model wore a sparkly, low-cut one-piece crafted out of silver tape
While he admits on his website that the model looked like 'Christmas hams wrapped in rubber bands' by the time he was done, Joel continued experimenting with various kinds of tape, and his project began attracting attention.
As a self-proclaimed heir of the 'Myspace era', Joel eventually became an Instagram sensation, and in July this year showed his work at Miami Swim Week.
The photographer now has 280,000 followers on Instagram, where he regularly shares snaps of his tape designs.
Back when he first started out, Joel went through a period of 'a lot of trial and error', but kept believing in his idea.
Above all, he was struck by how the tape enabled him to 'compliment' the models' figure 'unlike any wardrobe or fashion out there'.
On Sunday, he showed how versatile body tape can be by crafting an array of looks using just that one supply.
Among the designs he featured on his catwalk were a bondage-style, black swimsuit, as well as another black bikini featuring studs.

Models took to the catwalk ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
