What do Barneys NY and Foodies have in common?

Apparently Fashionistas and Foodies are now joining forces. Or so it appears that way based on the cover of the new Barneys catalog I just received. I do recall watching a recent episode of Top Chef Just Desserts and witnessing a dress made out of vegetables, so maybe it's not so farfetched. I'll let you decide for yourselves, I just couldn't resist!

Dear Santa,

I would like a new camera for christmas so that I may hone in on my food photography skills (another great resource is the NYT Dining-Food Photography page!) along with the dress on page 8 of the Barney's catalog, it will go nicely with my Kale.

I also didn't know BEETS could double as a prop to display jewelry. Hmmmm.

Food and Fashion? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
