Food-Inspired Fashion

The most basic necessities for survival of the human being is obviously food. People consume food everyday and therefore can easily be caught as an inspiration for artists and designs.

Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, a fashion designer, used foods as her inspiration for her Fall 2009 collection. Most of the inspiration can be easily spotted as some of her designs are as crazy as putting a baguette on top of the models' head and plastering eggs onto her dresses. The theme seems to be breakfast as eggs and baguettes are mostly breakfast foods. The many bright shades of red is probably inspired by ketchup.
