Now here’s a fashion show you want to be in the front row for: The 2007 Haute Chocolate Couture Collection, which was held in NYC over the weekend.
Yes, it’s true. Models strutted down the catwalk in dresses and accessories crafted from dark and white chocolate, chocolate squares, and chocolate chips. Man, fashion is great, isn’t it?
Actually, the display was part of the 10th Annual International Chocolate Show, and not surprisingly, when dealing with clothing made out of foodstuffs, a certain amount of care ought to be taken. Case in point: The creation of designer Ortrud Muench Carstens, which was almost disintegrated by the sun. Carstens notes that a temperature of 65-68 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal. (Um, isn’t the human body’s temp 98.6 degrees? Thought so.)
But perhaps the wackiest frock of all was a dress made from cookies, modeled by Ashley Moss. Moss says:
“It’s actually amazing. It’s not everyday that you get to wear something like this so I’m really, really excited about it. It’s a first time experience to be wearing cookies.”
Seriously? From where we come from, you haven’t lived until you’ve worn an outfit made of cookies. Snirk.
We’re hoping that if this show makes another go-’round next year, the lovely PR people send us a press pass and an invite to the after-party…and access to pre-show sampling privileges, of course.
