Hailey said her design used 14 rolls of tape and took almost 48 hours to put together.
In terms of design aesthetics, Hailey’s inspiration was a “rock-star-like outfit” using a retro 3-D glasses design to make something “with an interesting shape” and a look that mirrors high fashion.
Hailey said she likes to be “arbitrary” with her design choices.
