In a pairing of two of my favorite things, food and fashion, photographer Fulvio Bonavia released a book in 2008 titled A Matter of Taste. From handbags to shoes to jewelery, the photographs not only showcase food as fashion, but also shows that some still use their hands to create versus Photoshop. Each item in this book was created by Fulvio himself, who then photographed his creations.
I ran into this earlier this week and could not stop staring. As much as a broccoli handbag seems odd and smelly, the conceptual photograph makes it colorful and inviting. Other renditions include a raspberry clutch, blackberry Chanel-esque bag, a brick of cheese bag (I love cheese, this one is unexpectedly amazing), and a fresh blueberry clutch.
Which item is your favorite?

Megs, I love the blackberry Chanel-esque bag!
Me too! It looks delightful!
Wow! These are so cool! I like the blackberry and the cheese one, too.
mmm makes me want cheese lol
Uh, these are totally awesome. The attention to detail is great. The Chanel bag is my favorite.
Me 2!!
Oh gosh the tridimensionality and the beautiful taste and apeparance of this bag are unique!!

These are ridiculous! I love the blackberry one of course, and the cheese is very industrial looking almost. But my favorite is actually the broccoli. Something about it is just so unexpected. What a wonderful idea.
Love the raspberry and the blackberry. Classics!
No contest, the chanel blackberries wins..the others look weird and not that inviting.
The “Chanel” bag of course. 🙂 However, the cheese bag is intriguing too. As Brandy pointed out, it has an industrial design to it.
Thank you for sharing with us, Megs !
The blueberry bag looks delish!
I will go for the blackberry chanel or the cheezy one…..definatelly not the broccoli though…
I think the broccoli is my favorite.
OMG! These are so cute and fun! I want the blackberry and raspberry bags…and I wouldn’t mind eating them either!

I want the blackberry, raspberry and grape bags. What a wonderful rendition.
Beautiful creations.
Blackberry Chanel is my favourite!!, i’m biased though, i have the phone and bag respectively!!
Ha!
i just feel like puking when i see those fruits. its kind of disgusting…… they are foods n just for taste. to photoshop them into bags are really too much for me to take. not that i feel sorry for those luxury brands but i feel sorry for the foods. they look so digusting with those bags.
pls respect foods hehehhe or i mean fruits
Very fun & creative.

All the bags are simply beautiful.
The broccoli is my fave. The shape, the color, the handles, all are right up my alley.
What beautiful work! Love the blackberry Chanel.

Love the Blackberry Chanel but I think the broccoli is the most interesting of all. What a creative idea!
