Designer Joy Kampia gives new meaning to food. Combining food and fashion in her collection, she has stirred everybody's attention.

Given above is a crochet design by her. A hamburger dress which oozes out in all the right places. Can you find a better way to catch a man's attention? I guess not!

According to her,

Because I enjoy the irony between subject matter and material, I have merged my favorite subject matter (food) with my favorite process (crochet).

I love food too much to be satisfied with its transience; therefore I am driven to give it permanence through art. I am a passionate advocate for crochet as an art medium--going beyond its traditional uses and exploring its limitless possibilities.

By taking both food and crochet out of their ordinary settings, I hope to challenge the viewer's preconceived notions of their roles.

And I hope it makes people hungry.

Keeping with her theme for the food showcased beautiful designs, this is a picture of another of her creation.

An enticing sundae... didn't they say a way to man's heart is through his stomach.

All I can say that Joy Kampia gives new dimensions to this thought.
