Though there could be nothing more fashion forward and practical than an edible outfit which, with a few strategic bites, seamlessly takes you from day to evening, edible clothing is completely impractical for many reasons. It doesn't taste good, it melts, it's uncomfortable, it's been sitting on your body, it probably gives a rash -- the list is endless. Still, it's fun to look at, so here are some great examples of high fashion edible clothing.

• Jean-Paul Gaultier turned bread into haute couture.

• De Culinaire Werkplaats Taste The Unwearables featured fashions and accessories made from vegetable fibers and other foods.

• Here are two of the many chocolate outfits modeled at last year's Salon du Chocolat fashion show.

• Greek chef Virginia Anastasiadou Levi put on an edible fashion show to promote her line of chocolates and candies.

• Students in Mexico City created a clothing line using edible textiles and fruit.
