WTF

SaladDress.jpg

Isn't this a hoot? There's something so 1950's about it, not least because of the model's pose. You can read James Barron's story, "Holy Carmen Miranda! Finding Fashion Among the Radishes," but I think time is better spent meditating upon the sublime nonsense of this photograph. Suffice it to say that designer Chris March is not entirely demented: the frock was commissioned by the makers of Wishbone. (Note the tossing fork and spoon.)

A necklace of cherry tomatoes - now that's something to wear to a fraternity beer bust.
