WE’VE seen a range of daring swimwear on Love Island but nothing comes close to a risqué catwalk show where the models wore bikinis made from TAPE.
Duct tape bikinis – made famous by fashion label Black Tape Project – have made a return and they could be the most daring styles we’ve ever seen.

The saucy show took place yesterday at Miami Swim Week and the eye-popping designs certainly set pulses racing.
One of the geometric designs barely covered the model’s derriere and simply had a cheeky diamond-shaped tape shape.
Others artfully adorned the women’s bodies in pink, purple and black pieces.
Who needs clothes on a catwalk when you’ve got tape?
Joel was inspired to begin the trend over a decade ago while working as a photographer.
Writing on his website, he explained: “One day in 2008 I was a rookie photographer who was working with a model that suggested I use electrical tape her for the last look.
“I honestly had no idea why she would want this but to make her happy I attempted to use this tape as wardrobe.
“Essentially I just wrapped her in black electrical tape! Mind you she looked like two Christmas hams wrapped in rubber bands when I was done! (I’d never show you these images!)
“However, it sparked an idea in my head to develop this idea.”
