Inspiration
I have always been creative and duck tape is a versatile medium that allows me to create whatever I can imagine. Even my senior prom dress! I was so inspired by the geometric shapes of the duct tape flower petals that I used to make in elementary school, so I replicated those, added in a few new folding techniques and added the idea of a cascading waterfall gradient of colors to complete my floor length gown. Alongside just looking really cool as a pattern, the layering of the flower petals provided a textured, blooming look. The reason I choose this color scheme is because blue has always been one of my favorite colors, and the gradient of the colors together reminded me of my favorite beach. I constructed drop earrings and a flower corsage out of various shades of blue to complete my look. My vision was to fashion a floor length ball gown using an unconventional material that was mesmerizing to the eyes, colorful, elegant and truly me. It was so rewarding to see my vision come to life!
