Fashion in fusion and fragrance
Some of the world’s leading importers are joining forces to present an extraordinary fusion of food and wine paring with fashion and art shows for the Fragrance & Fashion event taking place on September 9 at Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel.
As part of the 18th World Gourmet Festival, the astonishing art performance will feature five acts and the Lampe Berger Paris brand will select its fragrances – Dreams of Freshness, Dreams of Flowers and Oriental Dreams to inspire the epicurean and artistic matches
In the first act, guests will be greeted with the scent of tomato leaves – the fragrance carries major notes of fresh mint. Designed by Anantara Siam’s executive chef Jan Van Dyk, the food and wine pairing features seared scallops served with prawn paper, tomato, mixed herbs and an equally fresh tasting cucumber and lime infused consomme.
Anantara Siam’s wine guru Prateep Kanisthachart will complement the meal with Alois Lageder Sauvignon Blanc 2015 from the Trentino-Alto Adige region in northern Italy – the wine’s pronounced aromas and deliciously fresh aftertaste a perfect accompaniment to the tomato and mint notes of the fragrance.
The second act adopts a scent of Radiant Bergamont extracted from bergamot and black pepper, which guests will enjoy quail breast served with confit, burnt eggplant, star anise and orange glaze, and dried fruit kadaif that goes well with Chardonnay Unoaked, Villa Angela, Velenosi, Marche 2015.
The fragrance of Sensual Bouquet has a major note of rose lily of valley that inspires a pairing of black cod served with zucchini, green tomato, burrata cheese and apricot foam with Ruche di Chiraretto, Monferrato Classico, Ferraris, Piemonte 2014.
Influenced by the fragrance of Amber Powder, another smooth pairing is lamb served with green pea, mint, preserved lemon and Tajine jus and Sangiovese di Romagna, DOC Superriore Riserva, Avi, SanPatrignano, Emilia Romagna 2007.
On stage, meanwhile, talented fashion designer Munchumart Numbenjapol will showcase a colour interpretation of each act’s fragrance through her new Silk Road by Munchu’s travel wear collection to delight the visual senses.
The iconic brand Lotus Arts de Vivre will dress the models with exquisite jewellery from its portfolio of necklaces, earrings, rings, bangles, bracelets, and brooches.
