Concrete Earth-saving dress | the details here

Concrete Earth-saving dress | the details here,,,A dress dubbed "Herself" is the first prototype dreamed up by Catalytic Clothing — a collaborative effort between the London College of Fashion, the University of Sheffield and the University of Ulster. The dress is coated with a special concrete mixture that uses sunlight to facilitate a reaction between titanium dioxide on the surface of the fabric and pollutants in the air. In other words, the dress can absorb nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide while you walk around looking good. Just imagine — if products like this actually end up on the market, fashion and excessive vanity might actually be environmentally heroic.
