Kai Yeung Yau's video tape jackets are pretty stylish considering they're made out of old VHS tapes. The cropped jacket features the film from old video tapes pleated and styled into a cropped biker-esque bomber jacket.
Kai Yeung Yau's creation was actually made from an old VHS he bought at a thrift store. The upcycled jacket is a great way to show how recycling can work in the fashion industry. Along with old fabric, actual materials like the tape can be used in new and innovative ways to showcase style.
