These Nike Air Max, remastered in a gastronomic key by Swedish designer Olle Hemmendorf, are built around a layering of ingredients such as a sesame baguette, beef patties, pickles, tomatoes and a slice of cheese outlining the iconic swoosh.
Spaghetti dress with meatballs necklace
Former Moschino creative director Jeremy Scott once again revolutionized the fashion system by elevating food to couture through an ingenious collection titled “Food Fight” for the FW06 season, in which he served up a series of postmodernist looks that included this spaghetti dress with a meatball necklace.
Gab Bois Handbags
The Canadian artist who decontextualizes life and gastronomy through art created this series of bags made from bananas and croissants. Two gastronomic clutches that are part of her eternal digital archive of compositions configured from everyday objects and discarded materials.
Chanel Beef Jerky Handbag
Nancy Wu redesigned the classic Chanel 2.55 bag from beef jerky. The artist thus crafted this silhouette by sewing an entire composition of air-dried meat sheets, with which she reproduces the famous quilted print, and retains the characteristic chain strap and interlocking C logo.
Artichoke Heart Dress
Photographer Ted Sabarese, along with designers Daniel Feld and Wesley Nault of Project Runway, came up with this performative concept in which the model stood for six hours while the designers sewed each of the artichoke leaves that covered her body.
