CNN —First Rihanna’s bathrobe, now Gigi Hadid’s DHL tape dress — it seems that luxury fashion is looking right under our noses (or at least inside our houses) for inspiration.
On Friday, Hadid walked in the Vetements show during Paris Fashion Week wrapped tightly in a roll of yellow and red DHL-branded packing tape.
The adhesive tool was styled into a strapless mini dress, while two heeled pumps were wrapped in the same tape to match.
The tape dress was paired with two heeled pumps similarly covered in the branded adhesive.
In 2011, Iowa State University staged its first annual duct tape fashion show — covered by the New York Times — only permitting designs that were made entirely from the hardware store staple.
