Fashion food design

Design meets the kitchen with the fashion food design. For extra clarity I have to say that fashion meets the kitchen with some masterpieces that is difficult to define with precision. In this article I present to you some designers, artists and photographers who use food as a tissue or as a decoration.

In recent years, cooking is the host. The television schedule is literally riddled by cooking shows for all tastes. From great chefs that pop up the fortunes of old restaurants, to great chefs judging the operated by adults and children. Not to mention those who lead programs and aren't chefs: from evergreen Clerici with unsustainable guests to contained and less messy Parodi with recipes from 5 minutes.

Today anyone who has the passion for cooking. Even designers do not wait, as you will see some daredevils have ventured in the art of design with the most unthought material: the food here is how Fashion food design.

This perishable product can function as material for clothes or jewelry design? It seems that many of the most important fashion designers have ventured in the art of fusion between food and fashion and the results are amazing. Will they eat clothes after the show?

Emily Crane

What you saw is the interesting video portfolio of Emily Crane and the project Micro-Nutrient Couture the young British fashion designer. The aim of her research is the exploration of food and the chemistry seeking a new material to suit a new idea aimed at the future fashion. So she is able to switch from molecular cooking to get the result and fashion merge in a single product.

“Through this unique process and development of new materiality I have laid an innovative creative foundation for future fashion design, conscious of the restraints of our future planet and the impact from current fashion cycles. My methods look towards ‘survival’ as a key factor informing my processes; fashion is no longer a thing of simple beauty, but of nutrition also.”

Nicole Dextras

With her project Weedrobes Wardrobe, the Canadian multimedia artist has created a collection of outfits with fruits and vegetables but also berries, barks and various plants. But in this case, she not limited only to clothing and accessories collection is also following the same philosophy 100% natural.

Yeonju Sung

Korean artist released her first entirely edible dress for her thesis, since then, saw the success has ventured into a whole collection of dresses. The clothes certainly do not survive to the time, are destroyed after they have been created and photographed, but they are a splendid example of fusion between art, food and fashion and even a veiled critique of consumerism society. Many of the clothes we buy have really short life.

Fulvio Bonavia

Although this is not a real designer we have another example of how food law can become part of the fashion world. The advertising photographer Award-winning Italian has created Matter of Taste a photographic book devoted to haute couture that becomes haute cuisine. Fashion food pure design. Vegetables and fruit are transformed into handbags, shoes and hats, in this case with the help of some editing program rather than needle and thread, but the result is amazing.

Ted Sabarese

Ted Sabarese is the photographer of New York creator Hunger Pains a series of photographs made by 15 designers with a monumental work lasted several hours (for the artichoke dress well 6 hours). The project portrays food clothing patterns that most prefer. Maybe the artist wants us to understand that “We are what we eat”?
