New York Chocolate Fashion Show
The edible catwalk extravaganza launches the New York Chocolate Show, an annual weekend-long event where 60 chocolatiers pack into a 55,000 square foot venue offering free tastings and professional demonstrations of chocolate recipes.
The unique costumes were created by chocolatiers and pastry chefs for the catwalk show on the Hudson River. Models, dressed in carefully crafted chocolate outfits, depicted Lara Croft, Bat Girl and a warrior princess among others.
The Lara Croft outfit comprised a chocolate bikini top and chocolate hot pants complete with a chocolate holster and guns.
Bat Girl sported a fitted chocolate bodice as well as large chocolate wings with the classic comic-book words ‘Kapow’ and ‘Bang’ painted onto them.
Narciso Rodriguez, who designed Michelle Obama’s red-and-black election-night dress, worked with chocolatier Jacques Torres to create a bodybuilder outfit, complete with large chocolate dumbells. which was carried off by a bodybuilder himself.
The costume for the warrior princess, was made entirely of French chocolate and was designed by Joelle Mahoney of famous New York chocolatier Chocolaterie Maya. It is believed that parts of the outfit took 120 hours to make.

hey guys, just to let you know. The “fashion” button on the homepage (and the others as well) directs to “/fasion” so it shows nothing. for an instant, i though there was nothing to show, but then i added the “h” and voilá.
You can erase this comment if you want to, cause it has nothing to do the fashion show, but this brings up that there’s no way to contact you, without entering in a post (or at least so difficult to find the link, that i simply couldn’t). Peace!
