For the latest issue of Worn Magazine, Josh photographed Katie Musser, a chocolatier at Co Co. Sala in Chinatown as she handmade a Cruella de Vil-themed dress out of chocolate for the 2010 Sweet Charity pagent. Weeks of shooting and hundreds of photographs later, Musser won the runway competition at the Mandarin Oriental, and Worn Magazine had a story.
