This was a final project for my Styling class at the John Casablancas Institute in their Fashion Business & Creative Arts program. I wanted to do a cyberpunk-inspired shoot that played with a lot of plastic and tape. The halter top/ dress was designed by myself, where I used saran wrap, clear packing tape and black PVC tape to construct it.

The crown was a collaboration between me and Liv Byakko - a crafter and designer who specializes in casting, molding, apparel, accessories and custom props for cosplay, home decor, fashion, etc. I created the design and Byakko constructed it using acrylic sheets. She also made the leather bra.
