Swimsuit models walked down the runway in Miami Beach wearing just tape. Yes, tape

Tape. It has many uses: School projects. Quick fixes.

Sometimes it’s even used in fashion. Double sided stick tape has long been a hack for those who dare to bear in plunging necklines (see JLo’s 90s era jungle Armani gown).

At Paraiso Swim Week, tape was used for yet another reason Saturday night: as a material.

Local designer Joel Alvarez sent his models out at Faena Forum in Miami Beach in a special kind of adhesive that works on human skin and does not leave any stickiness once removed.

There are some things one should probably not put tape on. Brazilianized things especially.

That’s funny. They couldn’t use the emaciated 95 pound heroin-chic ladies for this show, had to use women with a little “meat on the bones”.

Please tell me it didn't include "runway model Stacey Abrams". LOL


WaPo describes Stacey Abrams like 'a runway supermodel' in ...

BAD idea to place all of that fancy taping on the legs or arms.

Get out on a deck chair or on the beach in Miami wearing that and you will find bright pale stripes where you were covered up.

And as you continue to tan on subsequent days you will tan at a different rate.

And it will be difficult to follow those lines exactly to where tape there again.

Is he selling the IDEA of wearing tape?

Is he selling the roll of tape?

Is he selling sessions of someone ELSE apply the tape from his special collection?

If consumers are “making their own” swimsuits from his tape then he didn’t really design their swimwear, just the “fabric/pattern”.

I assume this is a disposable product (wear it once and done).

75% of the people ate the beach are obese and not just a little obese, but enormously obscenely obese.

Duct tape. Is there anything it can’t do?

I have my suspicions about the one in front.

I’ve been studying that for you. Yes I have.

I’ve come to the conclusion that yes, she is a woman. I’m returning to that pic for further assessment.

She’s done some serious squats if that’s the case.
