Ode to Alexander McQueen: 50,000 Gummy Bears Later


We recently wrote a post on Fashion/Music/Arts mag Twelv Magazine and listed one of our top reasons to pick up the mag as being able to see this awesome gummy bear dress.  Upon further reading the article and finding out how the dress was actually created we were blown away and a little hungry.  This dress was inspired by the late Alexander McQueens work (below) and was transformed from a winged gown to an edible art  installation. Why do we call it an art installation? The gown itself weighs 220 pounds and requires three people to move.  The dress was made with 50,000 gummy bears that were glued on one by one by hand (and we thought making kandi was tedious).
