For its debut, Twelv Magazine commissioned this Alexander McQueen-inspired dress made out of 50,000 gummy bears:
Yum! My Modern Met has more pics: LinkTo build the design, stylists Hissa Igarashi and Sayuri Marakumi twisted steel wire into the shape of a dress and covered it with vinyl. They then spent three weeks gluing on 50,000 pieces of the gummy candy in a rainbow gradient pattern. The final 220 pound ensemble was fitted exactly for model Jessica Pitti and required three people to move! I can only imagine the temptation to snack on the sweet treats as they dressed the model. Below you can also see the original Alexander McQueen dress that inspired the delicious design.
The fashion industry's fetishization of extreme, unhealthy thinness is disturbing, especially here where it's juxtaposed with thousands of calories' worth of food. I think people respond instinctively to that by wanting to reject the image and heal the girl.
Why all the skinny hate? Maybe she is naturally that thin.
Seriously girl, get some damned Snickers bars and try to recalcify those bones. Nothing sexy about a broken hip at 33.
Why?
