Amuse-Bouche Edition: Pinky





Amuse-Bouche Edition: Pinky
Melanie Dunea’s latest piece captures that sweet spot where food + fashion + art + photography all meet.
Amuse-Bouche takes the form of a limited edition hand-bound, hand-stitched "book". It will come in two different covers and the same interior, each inspired by a Michelin- starred restaurant menu (the look) and by a classic cocktail menu (the size).
The real magic is inside, the photographs resemble a glamorous fashion shoot. But keep flipping through the "menu". Look closer. See if you can spot foods such as caviar, coffee, prickly pear and red snapper.
Amuse-Bouche will take you on a sweet, savory, amusing ride infused with beauty, levity, joy and laughs needed in these complicated times.
Well … only 500 of these hand-signed first editions exist. Better hurry.
(250 of each cover). Publishing on June 2nd.
*This entire project was photographed and painted by me. I did not AI or assemble with photoshop. But you know that. ;-)
