Crying Fowl

Remember this gorge photo? The dress is made of steamed artichoke leaves and kale, radicchio and cabbage leaves. I blogged about it back in January.

It's part of the Hunger Pains series, photographed by Ted Sabarese and designed by Ami Goodheart of SOTU Productions. Daniel Feld and Wesley Nault - who starred in Project Runway season 5 - constructed the dress leaf by leaf. The process took almost 7 hours to complete.

So, PETA debuted this ad in NYC a few days ago.

Love Cloris Leachman. Love the campaign. But I hear they didn't credit the original designers and not only is the dress eerily similar, so is the lighting and background. Hmm.

Thoughts?

BTW, I'm a huge animal lover with two rescued fur babies named Simba & Sabrina. I admit I love my filet mignon medium rare & In & Out hamburgers animal style.

Here's another photo from the scrumptious series... Meat & Potatoes.

Obviously, this one isn't from PETA.

Hunger Pains

Each outfit in the series is made entirely of food and depicts a meal that the person was craving.

Her dress is made of steamed artichoke leaves and kale, radicchio and cabbage leaves. Stunning, but who craves that?!

Al dente pasta with extra virgin olive oil. Now we're talking.

Buckwheat waffle pants with glazed bananas. I had pancakes this morning...

Bread basket with fudge brownies and bittersweet chocolate dipping sauce. Nothing like carbs to make my day. This was all shot by Ted Sabarese. Outfits designed by Ami Goodheart of SOTU Productions. She is pictured below. Her costumes are never subtle and her creative designs have been shot by one of my favorite photographers - David LaChapelle.
