Label Text:Food is a necessity, but it is also a sensual object of desire and lust akin to sexuality. Jeremy Scott consistently drew on food themes for his designs for Moschino, and this hour-glass gown simultaneously emphasizes the feminine curves of the wearer’s body while wrapping them up as a delectable chocolate bar to be consumed.
