Mid-Autumn Festival, also referred to as Mooncake festival, is quickly approaching and brand's are celebrating by releasing some of the most extravagant mooncakes imaginable.
Celebrated annually by East and Southeast Asian families, Mid-Autumn festival is observed by giving thanks for the harvested crops, and admiring the year's fullest moon. Mooncakes are the hallmark food of this holiday, so it's no surprise that luxury brand's like Alexander McQueen are taking a crack at retailing the delicious Chinese pastry.
In this designer iteration, consumers can enjoy a mooncake from a luxe casing, which is more reminiscent of a piece of jewelry than a dessert. It arrives in a red box and boasts a fiery and floral design.
