Carved Marble Couture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Artist Alasdair Thomson Sculpts Chic Summer Dresses from Marble

— March 29, 2014 — Fashion
Talented sculptor Alasdair Thomson has recently created ‘The Identity Collection', which is essentially a series of flirty and feminine dresses carved from marble. Each stunning dress in this collection is named after a woman, which makes the name of this fashion-based sculpture series extremely fitting. The Hannah, Carrie, Lucy and Greta do have something in common. Each of these realistically carved couture pieces looks soft and flowy, which is rather misleading given the material used to create them.

These marble outfits are displayed on hangers, which helps to make them all the more visually deceving. These sleek summer dresses will never be worn, but they’re so detailed that fashoinable viewers will likely be tempted to try them on, only to be disappointed.

Alasdair Thomson’s elegant marble couture collection is guaranteed to impress art and fashion fans alike.


Trend Themes
1. Marble Fashion - The rise of marble as a unique material in the fashion industry presents opportunities for brands to create exclusive and luxurious designs.
2. Sculptural Couture - The fusion of sculpture and fashion opens up new possibilities for designers to create artistic pieces that blur the line between art and fashion.
3. Deceptive Fashion - The use of materials that deceive the eye offers opportunities for designers to create pieces that play with perception and offer a unique experience for the wearer.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Incorporating new materials and techniques like marble sculpting into the fashion industry offers a chance for brands to differentiate themselves and create unique pieces.
2. Art - The use of fashion as a medium for sculpture opens up new opportunities for artists to explore and push the boundaries of both disciplines.
3. Luxury Goods - The use of marble as a material offers opportunities to create exclusive, high-end products that cater to consumers looking for unique and luxurious items.
