Fast Food Packaging Fashion

Olivia Mears' Taco Bell Wrapper Dress is Cute and Flirty

— January 22, 2014 — Eco
The Taco Bell wrapper dress shows that with a little bit of creativity and a lot of patience (not to mention a big appetite), people could easily fashion their own clothes out of eco-friendly material. That is, as long as that material was about to be thrown in the trash. It is safe to assume that was not the case with the fast food packaging used to create the Taco Bell wrapper dress.

Designed by Olivia Mears for Taco Bell's Live Mas contest, the Taco Bell wrapper dress is made out of over 130 taco wrappers and about twelve sauce packets. Although she didn't win the grand prize, Mears did receive the first prize nod. Cute and flirty, the dress is easily a design any young woman would like to wear.
