Sweet Fashions

Dylan's Candy Bar is a crazy candy store on 60th and 3rd in New York City. The store is as much about the experience of shopping and the childlike wonder of being surrounded by more candy than you could ever eat than the actual treats themselves. The posh location and expansive corner windows allow them to do a booming business and have inspired impressive works of sweet window art.

Since the "Dylan" of Dylan's Candy Bar is Dylan Lauren, Ralph Lauren's Daughter, it was only fitting that Fashion Week in NYC would bring some candied costumes, and sure enough, we caught the artist at work this past weekend.

The creations were amazing, covering a wide range of Haute Couture looks and even incorporating an actual Ralph Lauren design among them. Take a closer look at the pictures here. Everything, and I mean everything down to the hair on the mannequins heads, is made from candy.

Sweet.
