Food for thought: fashion and fine dining come together for this year's Barneys Holiday 2010 catalogue. In a cuisine-inspired theme, Barneys wishes everyone to "Have a Foodie Holiday."
Model Kirsi Pyrhonen claims her rights to be in the kitchen and have some fun, wearing nutritious greens, slimy seafood and cooking tools. She shows off looks from Balmain, Rag & Bone and Diane von Furstenberg, but it's the bizarre wardrobe in the Barneys Holiday 2010 catalogue that I can't seem to take my eyes off of.
