Candy colors are set to take over the fashion world in 2012, and these Zushii accessories go straight to the core concept. The [earrings and rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-chocolate-ring-pop) in the Zushii '100 Percent Hard Candy' collection are made of pure candy; you can wear them, lick them or chew them as you like.

The Zushii brand started out as a smart publicity stunt by the Italian guerrilla marketing agency Korrokontro. The 100 Percent Hard Candy launch was accompanied by a viral visual campaign, a crowdsourced anti-beauty contest, a street guerrilla campaign and loads of partying.

The brand also has a [new earring collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jenny-lemons-x-magnolia-bakery) entitled 100 Percent Wild Wild Zoo, which features shopping totes, clutches and T-shirts. The 100 Percent Hard Candy fashion line is sold at Italian fashion boutiques alongside luxury brands and their [candy-colored collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candyinspired).
