Accessories and Food

So my research into food and fashion has lead me to look at still life accessory advertisements that include food. Some of the images below use colour to highlight their product whereas some use it to contrast their product making it stand out. The 'Exotics' double page spread worked well as the colours compliment the products and stand out on the white background. It looks clean and sharp. I also like the  shoes on the citrus backgrounds, colour has been used wisely here and it pays off in my opinion.

Food and Fashion

Food and fashion have always gone hand in hand, be it in a positive or a negative way. After Kate Moss famously said "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" she was dropped by Rimmel for promoting an unhealthy image. However Karl Lagerfeld is allowed to get away with saying "Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight".

Food is not only linked to fashion because of body image and size, colour and texture is a huge factor, they compliment items and can also inspire.

I want to look at food and how it interacts with fashion, or how we as people of fashion interact with food. I'll look at literal observations and also let ideas spiral and develop
