Edible Fashion

As some of you may know, my two passions in life, apart from boys, is food and fashion. A terrible combination I would have to admit. I mean how many times have you yelled profanities at the top of your lungs from accidentally spilling food on your beloved clothing? Or worse, spilt alcohol on your friend's new designer wallet after a bit too much Sangria? (Sorry Annie <3)

So when I heard of Westfield's exhibition of a combination of both food and fashion, I was just a bit sceptical. Sceptical that they wouldn't simple recreate Lady Gaga's infamous meat dress (no matter how cool it would be). But at least I was a little relieved that I was not the only one who had dreams of being able to eat their clothing. But really, imagine the OHS issue surrounding foothing. Yes, I just created a new word. Then, imagine this becoming a trend and designers sending off starving models down the runway in foothing. That I would love to see.
