Fashion Treats

Blasting through society is the fashionification of products and choices that all consumers are exposed to. The higher end of  the fashion spectrum as I have suggested earlier has transcended to include those lifestyle choices we make that makes us more fashionable. An interesting development in this has been the creation of Birthday cakes that make replicate designer hand bags, shoes and gift boxes. These creations include real eatable cakes that look identical to Chanel and Louis Vuitton Handbags as well as Prada heels and Tiffany and Co gift boxes.

These have all been instigators of this new tradition which has the potential of immediately elevating ones style and fashion at a moment of very high significance – mainly birthdays.

The cakes look so much like real designer products that a company in the UK who specializes in cake imitations, has been threatened of being sued by Louis Vuitton due to the striking similarities between the handbags and the cakes.

It’s a laughable matter, that Louis Vuitton one of the oldest fashion houses in the world, is threatened by little cakes from a small cake shop in London.

Aside from this, this little trick of ordering designer cakes can change a person’s style from being known as fashion zero, to a fashion hero and although the cakes may be a little pricey they are by no means as expensive as the real hand bags. So guess what folks? I guess you can have your cake and EAT it too!

Fashionable Wine

Alcohol has always played a primary factor in creating the right atmosphere when people are trying to enjoy the finer things in life. What appealed to me today was the headline and lead of a Sydney Morning Herald feature which had a video about different wines. The video featured experts stating the most ideal areas in Australia which housed the best quality wines, whether it be Shiraz, Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay or Merlot every area grew a different quality according to soil and climate of the area.

Whilst this may sound far-fetched to associate it with fashion, the SMH had no problem in doing so with their headline.

“Wines International Supermodel’s”

‘Meet the ‘supermodels’ of wine, some in excess of $1,000 per bottle’.

In addition to this, the following you tube video aired by Channel 10, depicts how fermented wine has been turned into a dress by wine inventor Gary Cass, who has aimed to capture the fashion world with his unique design.

However, whether this idea is in fact practical and indeed fashionable is still a mystery as the dress has a slight ‘morning after the night before’ smell of wine and stale alcohol. In my opinion this may come across a bit surreal, in my opinion holding a glass of wine compliments ones overall appearance and gives them a sense of style and class, but but wearing it is entirely another question especially if your carrying around a smell, with the risk of appearing slightly drunk, since you smell like it!
