A group of models strutted down the catwalk wearing nothing but tiny pieces of tape over their private parts during a scandalous runway show for the Black Tape Project on Sunday.

The New York Fashion Week show featured models like Nina Jovanovic, Juniee Bee, and Teddi Mansueto stomp the catwalk in a series of very unique outfits made purely out of body tape.

The ladies left very little to imagination as they showcased the looks, which were all curated by designer Joel Alvarez.

Each design used different combinations of tape in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and colors to create various looks

Some featured black tape, while others used shimmering purple, gold, or green - while some even came with tassels or embellishments.

On his website, Alvarez describes himself as 'the world's only body tape expert,' and the 'founder and pioneer' of the body tape art genre.

The first-generation Cuban American, who was born and raised in Miami, explained that the company turned his life around after he spent months 'living out of his car' and 'struggling to feed himself' without 'a dollar to his name.'

Following the death of a family member in 2008, he inherited a 'small, run down property' that was so run down it was 'not suitable for living.'

'It was definitely the lowest point of my existence,' he said on his bio. 'The house smelled like a wet dog.

Would save lots of luggage space

[DeplorablePaul]

Yea. Whatever happened to tall and skinny as the ideal model?
I think these are low rent models.

Alvarez began working with local dancers at Miami clubs, explaining that he began working 'three or four nights a week' taping up six women a night

Genius.

Where is a burqa when you need one?!

The legs in all those models shown in the Daily Mail article were man-like--athletic, heavy set, burly and ugly. They are not what I would expect in a model.

This is what I would rather see:

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“they are universally butt ugly.”

Yessiree. There were maybe two who weren’t, but 95% of them are, for sure.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Sorry, but they are universally butt ugly.

Could be lovely if properly dressed. He must hate women.

[Steely Tom]

Remarkable prominent delineation of the sartorius muscle there, with its connection to the anterior superior iliac spine only slightly obscured.

[alexander_busek]

What is a are labia?

Lips. Singular: labium.

[Mr. Jeeves]

They’ve been doing shows like this in Miami for quite a while - I guess the NYFW appearance makes it “newsworthy.”

[alexander_busek]

They need more tape!

And I'm talking about Christopher Lee-levels of wrapping!

Regards,

[Secret Agent Man]

This is his “admire me for my brain” outfit series

Aka the “take me seriously” collection

Or as the legal dept refers to it, the “walking harassment lawsuit” showcase

[Secret Agent Man]

First to say it out loud:

Yuck

[TheWriterTX]

Somebody forgot the Brazilian wax.

Yikes!

[Organic Panic]

Old news in Brazil.

[Organic Panic]

“protect their modesty.”

Yeah. sure.

[Organic Panic]

It IS a CATwalk.

[mass55th]

"Today his house smells like wet felines."

I thought it would smell like fish.

[kaktuskid]

That tape’s gonna hurt when it comes off!

[RedMonqey]

Who exactly is his target customers?

Can’t imagine normal women are into duct tape lingerie.
