Photographer Fulvio Bonavia recently presented his collection of footwear and accessories made from food products such as fish, pasta, fruit, cheese, candy. You name it. These items are not just aesthetically appealing but also trigger off a mouth watering reaction, making the product in question more desirable.
His collection is only for viewing pleasure as the food products used are perishable, thus making these pieces temporary works of art. What makes them exquisite is that they have all been modelled by hand, and are not mere photoshop products. Bonavio's shoot was done for the publishing of his book "A matter of taste," where he wants to portray to the reader his concept of fashion as food.
Bonavio's innovation no doubt comes from an evergrowing love for food and clothing. "If you do not want to wear it, eat it," he exclaims. A passion for food is a far thought on the minds of those associated with the fashion industry, as they are on a constant diet to remain fit. But Bonavio apart from candy and chocolates also makes use of health food such as salads, broccoli and red fruit, giving it a perfect balance. emphasizing on the importance of nutrition, while simultaneously maintaining the sheen.
The idea of fashion as only visual has been long been disproved by the concept of edible underwear, and Fulvio Bonavio simply takes it one step further. New generation fashion appeals to sight, sense, touch, smell as well as taste- creating an effervescent image of equipoise.
