The ‘Versa-Cheese’ runway collection is made entirely out of cheese and took fashion and textile students at Bath Spa University over 1,000 hours to make. The line involved more than 1 tonne of cheese. Spokesperson Hannah Jenkins from [Pilgrims Choice Cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pilgrims-choice-inclusions) claims that the collection itself is said to have been inspired by Lady Gaga’s unusual meat dress that she donned at the VMA’s last year. That being said, the 'Versa-Cheese' runway collection features everything from cheese ball gowns and dresses to [cheese purses and shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greggs-sausage-roll-clutch). Who knew that combining melted cheese and couture would create such a fashionable collection? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Food Fashion:** There is potential for the intersection of food and fashion to create unique and innovative products. - **Edible Couture:** There is an opportunity to explore the concept of wearables that are both fashionable and edible. - **Sustainable Cheese:** The use of cheese as a material, which is often produced in excess, can be seen as a sustainable and creative way to repurpose and reduce waste. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore the unique possibilities of using food, such as cheese, to create fashion products in an attempt to create buzz and differentiate from competitors. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can collaborate with fashion brands to create unique and innovative edible products that appeal to consumers looking for novel and exciting experiences. - **Sustainability:** Sustainability-focused companies can explore the potential of repurposing excess cheese and other foods as an alternative material for product development to help reduce waste and environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheese-Inspired Fashion Statements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-pocket-jeans.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Cheesecake Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesecake-handbag.md) - [Cheese-Infused Luxury Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-cacao-fromage-chocolate-collection.md) - [Potato Sack Couture Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haute-potato-collection.md) - [Club-Culture-Inspired Cheese Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-rave.md) - [Cheese Pull Scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzarella-stick-scarf.md) - [Statement-Making Oatmeal Outfits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porridge-dress.md) - [Cheese Wheel Wedding Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowshill-cheese-wedding-cake.md)
