An exhibition called the “World Chocolate Wonderland” kicked-off on Thursday in Beijing. The big attraction was the fashion show that centered on all things chocolate. Models wore clothing and accessories made out of chocolate.
[Chen Yuan, Model]:
"Usually dresses in fashion shows are both beautiful and light but those dresses do not have the sweet smell of chocolate. Chocolate dresses attract women because of their sweetness."
Four fashion designers worked with chocolate specialists to create modern and traditional designs. The clothing was also environmentally friendly.
[Ling Zhenzhong, World Chocolate Wonderland]:
"I think what we need to stress is that not only did we use many kinds of chocolates in designing the outfits, we also recycled a lot of materials. We used the wrapping paper and packing boxes from the candy and chocolate products. We hoped to show that this fashion show is also eco-friendly."
Up to 80 tons of chocolate was used in the creation of the chocolate park… most of it coming from Switzerland.
The organizers hope the lavish display will lure in visitors and boost chocolate sales in China.
