Burn baby burn!

We've all heard the old fashion dictum about matching shoes and handbag...but what about matching your dress to your stove? Well, thanks to a collaboration between London based designer Avsh Alom Gur and Brittania cookers you can do just that. Of course, why you'd actually want to coordinate with a kitchen appliance is a completely separate issue...
I'm assuming that if you could afford the dress and the stove you'd probably have a private chef...therefore you'd not be involved in any actual "cooking" which would sully the fabric...and you could move into the kitchen to artfully pose next to the stove when you guests started to arrive. The symbiosis between costume and cooker would naturally imply that you had been toiling away for hours on the boeuf bourginon they are about to eat and "ta-da"...in their minds you are now a great cook. It's a roundabout kind of method but I suppose if you can't boil an egg, are reasonably well off, and want to impress your friends, it may work for you.

On the flip-side, people may just start calling you the "loser who dresses like a stove"...but that's what makes you a trend setter, isn't it?

  1. For reasons that are too long and complicated to go into here my kitchen cupboard are painted in pink and turquoise stripes (with the odd orange, red and green stripe as well, it works, think of Peruvian cloth.)

    Anyway, one day I sat on the sofa in a colourful summer skirt and realised I totally co-ordinated with the kitchen. Yes, my skirt was also pink and turquoise. :-0

  2. Interesting concept. I can't imagine why anyone would do it but on the flip side I secretly want to.
    Hey, at least its better than matching your dog....
