Fashion & Food: Friends or Foes?

(There are other things we can do with our forks! Image from Silver Fork Bracelets)


Unlike current popular belief which dictates that to be fashionable you should be stick thin & subsist on champagne & liquified vegetables, you CAN love fashion & love food—just look at the fashion capitals of France & Italy where the couture is as renowned as the cuisine. In fact, if you dig a little deeper, you will find that fashion and food have a lot more in common than previously thought.

First & foremost, the most important thing about both fashion and food is GOOD TASTE. Without it, neither one can exist.

Next is recognizing the importance of learning to MIX & MATCH the right ingredients in the right amounts. Balance is key.

Visual PRESENTATION is necessary whether you're showing a fashion collection or presenting a food tasting menu.

And last but not least, keeping things FRESH is paramount--both fashion & food stink when they're stale.

Both fashion & food are part of what satisfy our appetite for that wondrous thing called life. So let's live a little and learn to enjoy both equally! :)
