"   Photo: Alice Pfeiffer  PARIS\u2014From Marie Antoinette&amp;#039;s taste for decadent dresses and macaroons, to Paris&amp;#039; Le Fooding, food and fashion are like two peas in a pod. But while the French stick to bespoke elegance, the Brits are turning to something slightly more extravagant. On September 25th, in the midst of the fashion month haze, London&amp;#039;s Experimental Food Society will kick off. Founded in January 2010 by Alexa Perrin, a British PR who grew up surrounded by delicious food, the night aims to glorify food as an art form of its own. The night will feature various acts, which will demonstrate the relation between fashion, food and performance including music by the Broken Hearts. The DJ duo create their own, made to measure music and outfits for every meal; the dance troupe `The Lady Greys&amp;#039; will also be present. Its founder, Sophie Edmonds, will wear an edible dress\u2014more specifically, a Marie Antoinette costume made of macaroons. Vintage usherettes will be serving experimental flavor fusion ice creams; Sid Chidiac, a New York based chocolate painter will exhibit a giant chocolate picture of the Queen, in a suit with hat and pearls, all in chocolate.   Photo: Alice Pfeiffer  Why food and fashion, you ask? &amp;quot;Humans rely on both, making them an ongoing and everyday experience, which inevitably leads to a relationship,&amp;quot; says Perrin. &amp;quot;Like lothes that are worn for a specific dining experience such as a cocktail dress, a dinner jacket, a tea dress etc. or for a certain food related role such as the dress of a waiter, a chef or an usherette. In fact we match the level of food to our state of dress to create an overall experience,&amp;quot; adding that &amp;quot;like food dresses a table, so does fashion our bodies.&amp;quot; The Society&amp;#039;s active members work year round as consultants to Michelin starred chefs, and food futurologists\u2014but until now they&amp;#039;ve &amp;quot;been the unsung hero&amp;#039;s of the food industry,&amp;quot; said Alexa, who wants &amp;quot;people to have their perception of food and its possibilities challenged.&amp;quot; Bon app\u00E9tit!
