so last night during dinner my uncle put on the show, "jamie oliver's food revolution". i think that show is so great and what jamie is doing is even greater, its such a wake up call to all of the ignorant people of America who thrive on processed foods.
anyway.
while watching this i thought of connections between food and fashion other than the fashion world getting slack for models being "too skinny" and what have you.
and i came across Fulvio Bonavia.
he's an award winning Italian photographer who started out as a graphic designer and illustrator for film posters before moving on to shoot campaigns for companies such as Yamaha, Jaguar, BMW, Adidas, Heineken, Audi, Saab.
in 2008 he published A Matter of Taste a conceptual work merging food with fashion, think Bayonna Ham as a ring, broccoli and raspberry handbags, sardine and spaghetti belts and a kiwi watch.
really cool stuff. i think his work is very creative merging fashion with food in a very modern, conceptual, eye appealing way.
in 2009 a french adaptation of the book was published and it was on exhibit as part of Le Gout Du Luxe in La Grande Epicerie in Paris.
here are some photos from A Matter of Taste as well as a few of my favorite photos from his other work Scent of Flower and some ad campaigns for Yamaha.
Fulvio Bonavia
