We don’t often think about food when we think of fashion and models. If anything, we usually think quite the opposite, as in avoidance of food. These same thoughts have led to much criticism in the fashion industry for overly-thin models and eating disorders. Pressure from the fashion industry, inappropriate food choices, and unavailability of good food options during fashion shows lead to poor eating by models, says Isabella Rossellini’s model daughter, Elettra Wiedemann. This is why Wiedemann is launching a pop-up restaurant for four days during NY Fashion Week at Robert’s Restaurant at the Museum of Arts and Design from February 11^th to 14^th.

According to Daily Mail UK, the pop-up named Goodness was started by Elettra in order to “accentuate the importance of mentors and maintaining balance when it comes to outside interests,” including her own interest of proper nutrition and health. The pop-up will feature 4 top chefs, including Mario Batali, Leo Forneas of Robert, Alain Allegretti of La Promenade des Anglais and Julian Medina of Toloache, serving up cuisines from Italian to Mexican.

We’ve featured numerous fashion articles on my site this month and how fashion relates to food. If MOZO shoes aren’t a great example of the combination of the two, then I don’t know what is! MOZO is an extraordinary line of high performance footwear designed, not only for chefs, but for all those who want comfort while working a high demand job on your feet.

Have you ever wondered how billboards, magazines, websites, commercials and cookbooks make food look so delicious and meticulously perfect? It is all thanks to food stylists around the world. A food stylist is someone who prepares and masters the art of creating the perfect dish all in the name of good photography. A food stylist needs to be able to translate the perception of aroma, appeal, and taste to the viewer’s eye in one photo. Certainly an art form! Read More

During this month of fashion focus, I’d like to turn your extravagant, aesthetic-centered eye towards a fashionable get-up born from practicality and necessity.  Some have forgotten the importance of being fashionably practical with their skyscraping high-heels and pants sliding endlessly lower down the legs, making the simple act of walking an arduous task.  Focusing on function doesn’t have to produce drab, boring rags.  When done right, clothing can be a perfect medium between aesthetic and function­- a harmonic balance of fashion and uniform.  One shining example of this is the Chef’s Uniform.

Manhattan is known just as much for fashion design as it is for food. During New York Fashion Week, the city shows off its finest designs and those visiting can see how well the two industries complement one another. It is the opportunity to be reminded of roots and traditions, and how they inspire all aspects of our life.

Case in point: Brittany My Linh Vu; a spit-fire personality and budding fashion designer from Charlotte, North Carolina.  Read More
