Italy's Fashion Houses Pay Tribute to Coca-Cola
Milan's 2010 Spring Fashion Week just came to a close, and in addition to revealing their latest collections, Italy's premiere fashion houses also partnered with Coca-Cola to raise funds for earthquake victims in Abruzzo, Italy.
Female designers Donatella Versace, Alberta Ferretti, Angela Missoni, Anna Molinari for Blumarine, Veronica Etro, Silvia Venturini for Fendi, Consuelo Castiglioni for Marni, and Rossella Jardini for Moschino dressed up Coca-Cola Light's trademark clear bottle for sale at an auction during Milan's "Tribute to Fashion" show.
I like them all, but my hands-down favorite is the iconic woven Missoni design, followed closely by the Moschino milk parody and Blumarine's flirty fruit pattern.

This month, Good magazine features a collection of narrative images that explores the different ways people address food. "You Are What You Eat," a collection of narrative images by artist Mark Menjivar, divulges the contents of various eaters' refrigerators.

Do You Consider Food Art?
The other day while making skewered vegetables for grilling, my girlfriend and I got into an interesting discussion about food being like art. We were determined to make the skewers look as pretty as possible and carefully thought out each vegetable's placement. Presentation of food is important, but do you consider food art?

A Whole Latte Beautiful Art
This past weekend, my friends and I found ourselves waiting in line for some tasty coffee. When our orders came up, we each had some cutesy latte art — hearts, leaves, etc. — and it got me wondering about latte art in general.
I Want to Live in a Carl Warner Foodscape
I was checking out some of my favorite websites when I came across these photographs by London based artist Carl Warner. His series called Foodscapes are wonderfully intriguing. Everything in the photos are made completely out of food.
If Items Were Made From Meat
We were all pretty intrigued by the artist who uses meat as a medium for wigs, but what do you think of Italian artist Simone Racheli's meat-inspired items? His works, which are made from plastic, iron, wood paper, and wax; and include items such as an iron, a modern chair, and even a toilet. Racheli's work isn't meant to gross folks out, it's meant to bring the items to life, by showing what they're like when you remove their skin and show off their muscles and meat.
Julia Kissina's a True Meathead
Berlin-based Russian artist Julia Kissina's early photographs bring a new meaning to the phrase Meathead. In her 1997 series, entitled Feen — which means fairies in German — she shows several young girls and ladies wearing raw meat as wigs. That's right, they're meat hair fairies.
