DEVASTEE AW12-13

Another one from the crazy catwalks. Devastee - french brand - show some serious tape usage as head bands on their recent catwalk show. All the models were adorned with shiny black tape around their heads looking a bit like latex and a black scary - joker looking smile painted on their faces. I must say that i don't think its an everyday practical look, but quite dramatic for the Paris catwalks.

TACHE TAPE

Tache tape is my and Wai Lee's latest tape project featuring a variety of different moustaches printed onto clear vinyl tape. If you would like to get your hands on some, get in contact with me. We were selling this tape at Beyond the Valley in Covent Garden, London but now unfortunately the shop has closed down.

TAPE CASTING

Some friends Tim and Nick did some body casting using some clear packing tape and the result was surprisingly sturdy. I'm tempted to try it myself at home one lazy sunday. Here is Mia with the tape hand.

CENTRE TAPE

I like this centre tape, on first thought it is useless, then on second thought it is also useless, that is what i love the most about it. Read more about it here: http://www.klatmagazine.com/blog/2012/01/19/unnecessary-036-center-tape/

JACK SPADE WALLET

This is Jack Spade's take on the gaffer tape wallet. very clever i think. Taking the DIY gaffer wallet a step further, a printed version of tape using the latest technology in digital printing. This wallet was spotted last week at Capsule Tradeshow in Las Vegas.
