Bacon headbands, fresh fruit necklaces and a pizza wrap: Artist creates incredibly realistic food-inspired accessories that look good enough to eat!


  • Japanese artist Norihito Hatanaka makes the items out of plastic
  • Usually works to create food displays in restaurants and shops
  • Now designs hats, necklaces, earrings and bracelets that look like meals

From the sheen of grease on the strips of bacon to the moisture on a piece of melon, this selection of food looks nothing short of mouthwatering.
However, the work of Japanese artist Norihito Hatanaka, these delicious-looking dishes are, in fact, fashioned out of plastic.
Norihito usually works producing food and meal displays for restaurants and shops but said his love of fashion inspired him to create jewellery using the art.

Perhaps an option more for the adventurous fashionista, his collection includes hats, necklaces, earrings and bracelets spanning all types of sweet and savory meals. 
On his website he explains: 'I considered what should I create to expose the fake food to the public.
'And as I was interested in fashion, I decided to make accessories that have a food motif. I get inspired for my work from casual daily scenery. 
'Easily available common food items are charming as they are, though people sometimes don’t notice that.
