Fashion models may not be allowed to eat a lot of chocolates; however, they wear them in a 13-pack display, made entirely of this delicious candy in Belgium. The show is part of the Salon du Chocolat annual exhibition, which includes workshops and conferences on Belgian chocolates, which the Belgians boast as the best in the world.
Belgian chocolate maker Frederic Blondell collaborated with a Peruvian designer to make a gown inspired by the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra, decorated with chocolates.
Some designers spent weeks sewing thousands of chocolates on dresses, while some of them were made entirely of chocolate, including a gown designed by duo Jean-Christophe Ober and Giovanni Piaciolo, a chocolate maker and fashion designer.
"Everything is covered with chocolate and cocoa powder. This dress contains more than five kilograms of chocolate and about three kilograms of cocoa powder.
He added that the large amount of cocoa powder, made chocolate dry, reducing the possibility of melting.
