concrete and marble

“As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.”
Albert Camus
Marble looks so delicate and persistent at the same time, it is easy to understand there is still a hype around marble printed garments. Silk blouses, pillows and bedding that look like anicent Carrara Marble, i like the subtle irony. Concrete however epitomizes progression, urban caducity and growth. I wish there were more garments inspired by this familiar building material. I found some in the vast showcases of the Internet, my favourite is the concrete clutch bag from Ivanka. So pretty, as well as the whole concrete outfit.
