The project entitled 'Strange Fruits' sees Illenberger re-imagine the classic [Chanel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-geometry-set) lipstick with a bright orange carrot, a rubik's cube made from a cocktail of fruits, and an apple coated with human hair. Other images in the series include a beetroot handcrafted as precious diamonds, a laced-up banana and an aubergine with a wooden inside. Sarah Illenberger works from her Berlin studio and contributes work to a number of magazine editorials. The fun pictures are sure to put a smile on your face, and these images look good enough to eat!
