Potato with its nutritional contents

Previous1 of 4Next

The immediacy of the web has compromised quality and many individuals recognize this – Luxirare is one of them. Ji Kim, the mind behind Luxirare, is an advocate for slowness, in food and in fashion. Her creations are painstakingly created and beautifully documented through a series of photographs. Encasing a potato in a plexiglass box, labeled with its nutritional contents, Kim takes us through the process of creating her version of flavored potato chips. How about a three course bento box that include a salad dumpling, turkey club roll, and rainbow colored jello shots? It reads like a disastrous experiment, but the results are extraordinary. Her parfait entry is a must read as well, reminiscent of Ferran Adria’s liquid olives. Kim bounces back and forth between clothing and cuisine giving equal weight to each of the projects. Trashy meets elegance and luxury meets rare, it’s time to slow down.
