Faux Fur Coat

Obsolete cassette & video tape make an absolutely reeling garment.

Cassette tape was woven onto the fabric of a second-hand coat to create the looped texture. The collar and cuffs are accented with the larger discarded video tape. A thrift store prom dress was cut up and sewn for the lining of the coat. This cold weather garment took 310 hours to create. Created in 2005.
