Italy's Fashion Houses Pay Tribute to Coca-Cola

YumSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 05:50:53 -0700

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. To see each bottle, read more.

What's In Their Breakfast?

YumSugar — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 07:01:31 -0700

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and apparently LA-based artist Jon Huck got the memo. In his "Breakfast" project, Huck takes headshots of folks and juxtaposes them with snapshots of their breakfast. The result is intriguing - we're all nosy to some degree, right? - and fascinating. It's also quite interesting to see how the food choices, combined with the headshots, can really give you a glimpse at what that person might be like. I've selected a few of my favorites, but you'll find quite a bit more at Huck's website.

Thanks to calamari for the tip!

Daniela Edburg's Drop Dead Gorgeous Photos

YumSugar — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 11:54:02 -0700

Even though I've actually thought I could OD on gummi bears, the phrase "death by gummi bears" sounds a bit ridiculous. However artist Daniela Edburg has made it look amazing, don't you think? In her series Drop Dead Gorgeous, Edburg features beautiful girls (all of whom are her friends, not professional models) dying from food related obsessions. There's a girl getting attacked by flying bananas, one smothered in oreos and another being chased down by a tornado of pink cotton candy. When asked about why food has such a sinister effect on the women in her photos, Edburg replied:

I guess I am pretty compulsive. That which gives me pleasure one minute, causes guilt the next. I am surprised at how much I like the products I consume, but, if you stop for one second to think about it, it’s absurd. Yet, you can’t stop.

The rest of the pictures are absolutely gorgeous (we love the M&M one and the banana one too), plus be sure to read the interview with the artist. Also if you live in the Miami area, you can actually go see the photos at the Kunsthaus Miami.
