Remember Ian Hernandez Rojas, the Taylorsville teen who designed a duct tape tuxedo honoring his Salvadoran heritage for Duck Tape's annual Stuck at Prom contest? He won the $10,000 scholarship! Congrats, Ian!
“This year and last year, I’ve kind of been interested in where my parents are from and where my family’s from,” Hernandez said. He researched the Mayans’“I was inspired by their art, [and] to do it on the tux, and I just wanted to like pay tribute to our family roots,” he said.
It is the first time Hernandez has ever created clothing out of duct tape, though he used fabric as an underlay to make the process easier, and to make sure the final product didn’t look too thin. Most of the issues he came across involved redoing parts of the tux, because pieces of tape would get stuck to each other. By the time he was finished, he said the rubbery smell of the duct tape was getting to him.
Taylorsville High School held its prom in April, Hernandez said, and he didn’t have the tux finished in time for him to wear it then.
