While many people would rather eat their desserts than wear it, these chocolate dress designs might change their minds. As fashionable as they are delicious, a range of conceptual gowns were put on display at La Maison du Chocolat in Paris, France. Pushing the boundaries of both fashion design and food creations, the event is full of inspiration, creativity and, of course, style.
Focusing heavily on haute couture guidelines, the chocolate dress designs were carefully fitted on each of the models in cooled rooms in order to keep them fresh and rigid. In addition to some of the dresses, a few designers decided to dip their toes into the realm of lingerie as well as more fantastical concepts.
