Fashion for your taste buds

If you're a lover of food and fashion then you'll probably enjoy spending a few minutes checking out this small display in Westfield Sydney from 5 July until 12 July 2012. It shows the creativity achieved when you combine fashion designers and chefs. It seems to be a great combination although I doubt that any of the designs are still technically edible but I'm happy to be proven wrong. At a pinch maybe the apricot and lavender meringue dress by Leona Edmiston could still be. I reckon for next time the challenge should be to create outfits that are 100% fully edible and making casts of the chef bodies in chocolate and using glue made from egg white for a start.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

PROS: Free display, Interesting use of produce, 

CONS: Can't get close to read all the labels or walk around the back of the objects, Reflection on the glass makes it very hard to take nice photos, I doubt any of the fashion is edible now

MUST TRY: Finding out what happens to the pieces once the display finishes — perhaps they go on tour around to other Westfields?
