A dress you can eat

A dress made from nori, the seaweed paper — a staple in sushi

A British designer has taken a leaf out of Lady Gaga’s meat dress and has created a gown from sushi. The dress, by Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design graduate George Nemsadze, is made from nori, the seaweed paper — a staple in sushi.

Nemsadze used 50 sheets of vivid, green-pressed seaweed and silk organza for his creation and incorporated geometric patterning and sheer panelling, according to the Daily Mail.

The gown has been created in collaboration with the Pan-Asian restaurant Chino Latino to mark London Fashion Week, and was on display recently in the lobby of the dining venue at the Park Plaza Riverbank.

“Fashion week in London is a time to celebrate all that is beautiful, from designer creations and street fashion to city architecture and well-executed cuisine,” Albert van der Westhuizen, Chino Latino Brand Manager for Park Plaza Hotels and Resorts, said. “We wanted to mark Fashion Week by commissioning a London designer to create a fusion piece where food meets fashion,” he added. — ANI
