Uma moda que veio para ficar? Joel Alvarez foi pioneiro no design dos biquínis... feitos de fita adesiva

O fotógrafo e designer Joel Alvarez criou o projeto 'Black Tape Project' que recorre ao uso de fita adesiva para criar biquínis.

Joel Alvarez começa por cortar pedaços pequenos de fita adesiva e coloca no corpo das modelos, com a ideia de criar formas geométricas com inspirações tribais e futuristas.

A primeira vez que o 'Black Tape Project' ganhou visibilidade foi no evento 'Miami Swim Week', dedicado a apresentar novas tendências de moda de praia, que aconteceu em julho do ano passado.

Em setembro, Joel também levou esta tendência para as Semanas da Moda de grandes cidades americanas, como Nova Iorque e Los Angeles.

Very huge and special thanks to someone very little of you know has had a huge impact on my career. @erikrosete of the @artheartsfashion. About 4 years ago he allowed me to collaborate in one of his infamous mrtriplex shows in LA and that was my first experience in the fashion. This year he calls me and invited me to headline his show for Miami swim week. With out a doubt this was one of those crazy fun filled weeks in my home town but if it wasn't for Eric and his team guiding me through the madness of what comes with fashion and all the hard work from every one involved. I can't thank you enough Eric and every one at the artsheartsfashion family. The show received so much buzz, models lining up to walk for me and the fans that came out to support. . . If you missed the show I did something a little different. I created 13 designs to walk but I worked on one live in the intro of the show just to give you an idea of what goes into the designs. The designed I showcased were a mixture of old and new designs. I created a few to imitate swimwear in theme of Miami swim week. The design I created live is one of the more basic designs as the ones walking took close to an hour to prepare. We finished all 13 designs just minutes prior to the show. . . #miamiswimweek #miamiswim #swimmiami #swimlife #blacktapeproject #artheartsfashion #fashionweek #miami #goldtape #blacktape.
