Can I tell you about...February Vogue? A few months ago we participated in a chocolate fashion show and we collaborated with uber talented chef Mehdi Chellaoui. He turned one of our hit bags of the season into chocolate complete with tassels and hardware covered in edible gold leaf. Well, it must have caught someone's eye at Vogue because all of a sudden he was requested to make 2 more for a photo shoot. Little did I know that one of my favorite fashion photographers, Raymond Meier, would be taking the photo. It's an amazing shot and I've already gotten compliments from fellow designers that I met up with at a recent CFDA meeting. For me, it's 2 dreams come true. First, I get a bag photographed by Raymond and second, I get a full page in Vogue. Unfortunately, you can't really order the chocolate version from me, but you can certainly score the original version which is still available at Neiman Marcus.

I LOOOOVVVVVEEEEE IT!!!!! I want to eat it right now!
That is a winner!!!!! What an ingenious concept.
Fantastic Rafe! Can't wait to see the magazine! Continue to be proudly Pinoy!
I was just looking at the new Vogue and was thrilled to see that amazing credit for Rafe! Vogue could have chosen any handbag and they used Rafe. Looks delicious!
here's another photo that needs to be framed on your wall and for anyone else who owns the bag, they should do the same. really cool shot. must have been a nightmare to do because those hot lights melts chocolate instantly.
Wow! That's awesome. I don't know about uber talented though! just kidding. Thanks.
This is amazing! Bravo, bravo et encore, BRAVO!!!
Le chocolat est toujours chic, comme Rafe!! This looks sweet enough to eat!! Although the real thing is much more delicious... ;)

Thanks for your comments. The best ending to this story is that Raymond Meier just sent me a print of the photo. Of course it's already at the framers. It will be ready in 2 weeks, just in time for by birthday.
