Until May 17th, the luxury chic supermarket of Paris, La Grande Epicerie, hosts 14 photographs by Fulvio Bonavia.
The artist amused himself by turning upside down fashion accessories in a gourmet way.
The handbag is made in raspberries, the belt with sardines, artichokes on the cap, the ring is full of Bayonne ham and the watch is a kiwi!
In his book “A Matter of Taste”, Fulvio Bonavia fuses haute couture with cuisine with results that are guaranteed to tantalize fashionistas and foodies alike.
Step out in style in a pair of corn espadrilles. A tagliatelle belt makes for a delicious main course, but should always be worn al dente.
Later, for dessert, you can dine on fruit-paste bangles and a cheese necklace, then dance the night away in a pair of aubergine slippers !
These are obviously not for real use. However, a Belgian luxury jewelry company called La Fleur D’Or (http://www.lafleurdor.com) is making real organic jewelry for everyday use with the motto “A Precious Piece of Nature Forever”. They claim that each piece is unique and there’s only one copy of each piece, and they use exclusively organic material coming from nature. It’s a very mysterious company though, they don’t give away much information not even a phone number but it’s been said that they serve exclusively to a limited VIP clientele. Could that be the newest trend in the jewelry world? Worth checking out though.
