The Duck brand of tape sponsors a scholarship contest for those who make promwear using their tape.  The grand prize dress wins 10K and the grand prize tux wins 10K.

 

Larissa Leon is one of the finalists. I saw her in one of my Spanish teaching groups.  You can check out the other finalists (and vote once a day).

 

She created this with 47 rolls of tape and 163 hours of labor.  She would get my vote, for sure!

What an imagination to come up with that. It's really pretty. Hard to believe it's Duck Tape.

I don't know what the others look like but hers looks like a winner.

Could you imagine wearing clothes made out of it? So hot & sticky. LOL!!!

They should give five deserving kids a scholarship and not make people buy their product.  Seems just mean to me.

I hope this contest enables her to have a fantastic job, working with a major designer and/or fashion corporation.

Just incredible!!  I think she looks beautiful - so full of color and life.

 

I can see her as a contestant on 'Project Runway' - she is very talented.
