Models covered in chocolate... I think I had a dream fantasy about that once.

Who could've guessed that making clothing out of chocolate was a bad idea?

How the fark are these "fashion designers" getting away with the bullshiat they put on the runway now? Seriously. Join the real farking world.

Oh, wait, they make way more than I ever will. Awesome.

Correct. I won't fault anyone for looking for work, esp if they're not exactly 'college material.' But honestly, how do people buy into idiotic ideas like this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here.

I'm trying to think of a way I can look at this in a positive light; like "it's art", or "a refined creative enterprise" or something but I can't help but think that after the opulence of modern society causes its inevitable collapse, people will look at images like this and say "Well, DUH."

Caption FTA:
"Icing on the cake (with a cherry on top): Ferri embraced the mini skirt for the final curtain call - but others were bearing a lot more skin"

Actually, bearing any appreciable amount of flesh is rather detrimental to a model's career... they're encouraged to have as little of that as possible.

But I knew what you really meant, I'm just being a dick over here.

I've always felt that so-called "high fashion" is just an inside joke that I'm not in on. This is just evidence that my beliefs are true.

Is there any purpose to these types of shows?
 
2011-10-21 11:25:56 AM
This was clearly done tongue-in-cheek. The "models" included a porn actress, for example. Another was a former Miss France. The only one who seemed to have professional modeling experience was on The Bachelor and now is a presenter on TV rather than a fashion model. The men included a newsreader and a figure skater.

I'm assuming it's some sort of charity gig.

To entertain the wealthy and to give a strawman for the poor to wrestle to the ground.

I've heard the explanation that it is a place for designers to go all out, ridiculous, as creative and extreme as they want, and then ACTUAL new clothing designs can come from the few ideas in the mix that actually work while still being cutting edge.

I can kind of see that, but obviously it doesn't include extremely unattractive chocolate dresses.

I have to applaud the designer for not using emaciated models.

Those girls look mighty fine.

Worthless? No, I'd spend a lot of cash on a few of 'em.

They're women, man. Do you prefer them dyked out?

The purpose of this type of show is to stretch the chocolate artistry of the candymakers. It's for fun. It's for FUN. jesh, get over it!

The purpose is to push the bounds of fashion without having to worry about wearability, durability, or practicality.

Think of the runway in the same terms as you would a concept car show. Nobody's going to actually buy one, but it is a representation of what you get when you take the current styles to their extremes.

/Not a haute couture fan either.
 
2011-10-21 11:54:06 AM
I don't know how they did it, but somehow they managed to make both the models and the food look horribly unattractive. Disturbing.
 
2011-10-21 11:56:57 AM
The show was for charity, it's part of a much larger celebration of all things chocolate and one of the sponsors is a chocolate company. For the piece in the article it appears that the skirt was made to fall apart, The way the panels of the dowdy midi skirt fell of revealing a sexy chocolate mini looked 100% planned -right down to the coquettish expression on the model when it finished falling off. Really, if it wasn't meant to fall off why was there that chocolate mini underneath? If it was meant to stay intact it would have had the sturdy wire of the under-structure showing, not another chocolate skirt.

For a designer unconventional materials are a chance to go all-out creatively and make something that doesn't need to be wearable to the office and evening, suitable for shopping in wal-mart, able to fit all sizes, modest enough for church and it doesn't need to fit anyone other than the model. For a designer it's fun and a chance to let loose and not worry about fashion critics. It's about creativity, innovation and the chance to design free from any and all commercial constraints.

And these shows and the clothes aren't about high fashion, low fashion or any fashion. They are not meant to be worn anywhere other than the show. They are made to grab attention and showcase the featured product -chocolate -in an unconventional and innovative way. It's not a joke, there's no secret agenda, and there's no motives beyond what these one-time fashions are in the most literal sense of the phrase: It's nothing more than eye-candy.

It was a kickoff show for the Salon du Chocolat, Paris's annual trade show for the chocolate industry. Having said that, I don't understand high fashion whatsoever and think most of it looks ridiculous.

Yeah, my gf is an architect and they have the exact same thing: Shows with the most unpractical designs ever concieved. They look horrid and ridiculous. But they do them as exercise to stretch their creativity I guess.

/personally I think if it can't be built, everyone is wasting their time, but I'm one of those damn realists.

THIS! What the hell kind of sustained weird-ass environment does one have to live in to design these things, pitch the idea to investors for the show, get models, an audience, and the buttload of people all involved in this and have everyone say, "Yes, this certainly is a worthwhile venture and entirely justifiable." They left regular humanity quite a while ago. Compare and contrast this with say... coal mining, e.g.

Because it wasn't a fashion show. According to TFA it was an opening show, for entertainment, to kick off a high end chocolatier trade show that's going on.

KatjaMouse: Because it wasn't a fashion show. According to TFA it was an opening show, for entertainment, to kick off a high end chocolatier trade show that's going on.

Why does it matter what it was for? Someone spent hours and hours designing and creating unwearable "clothes" made out of chocolate that were utterly functionless, and couldn't even serve the purpose that they were designed for.

Waste of money, talent, time, and brainpower. At least butter/cheese sculptures are edible.

I look at it in the same vein as the academy awards: a bunch of self-important rich people congratulating themselves with an extravagant show.
