South Korean actress Kim Yoo Jung presents a dress made of chocolate on October 30, 2012 in Paris during a fashion show for the inauguration of the Paris international chocolate fair. For the Salon's annual fashion show featuring life-sized chocolate dresses, this year's model is a kimono-inspired number created by French chocolatier Frederic Cassel -- who has three stores in Japan. "We wanted to express Japanese tradition, cherry blossom in the wind," in the long sleeves with chocolate flowers, said Cassel, who worked to a design by a young fashion student, Audrey Lempeseur. The 15-kilo edible dress -- a month in the making -- will be slipped on just moments before the show, lest it should melt under the spotlights. Some 200 chefs from around the world are set to converge on Paris for the 18th edition of the fair, which draws some 100,000 visitors each year.
