Some designers spent weeks sewing thousands of pieces of chocolate onto their dresses, while some gowns, such as one by chocolatier-designer duo Jean-Christophe Hubert and Giovanni Biasiolo, were made almost entirely from chocolate.
"There's steel and polystyrene but everything is coated in chocolate, with cocoa powder," Hubert said.
"In this dress, there is more than 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of chocolate, more or less, and around 3 kilograms cocoa powder."
The high amount of cocoa powder created a dry chocolate, reducing the risk of it melting, Hubert said.
