[LISTEN] VOTE For This Lasalle Teen’s DUCT TAPE 🤵 TUXEDO!

Now HERE’S a way to pass some Pandemic time! RYAN BEKIC from Lasalle (a recent Villanova grad) is one of 5  finalists in the ‘Stuck at Prom’ Duct Tape scholarship contest. Have you seen anything like this before!? Besides using a bed sheet as a base, it’s all DUCT TAPE! This two-sided tuxedo even has moving wings!

Morgan caught up with Ryan where explained his process and the grand prize.

VOTE FOR RYAN ONCE A DAY UNTIL JULY 14TH HERE

“Runways were my main inspiration. The 2 in 1 look and wings were inspired from various high fashion looks I have seen. The rest of it came from my mind. I had the idea of an angel and devil then kept going. The colours represent darkness, peace, the redness of blood that every person has, and richness of life (black, white, red, and bronze/gold respectively). The piece shows that every person bleeds the same blood and is capable of goodness, regardless of preconceived notions. I wanted to show the complexity and high fashion that can be achieved using Duck Tape. I even made moving wings with tape and paper. I tried to use the tape in unique ways and create a suit that has never been seen before. Thank you for taking the time to look at my suit!”
