Not a palace and neither a dress for the runway. Just a texture that caught my eye. Is it a new fashion idea? Probably not!

Responding to Sabine's and Anna's challenge for "PalaceRunway" and for finding patterns and textures that resemble fabrics, I found the outer side of this giant clam shell from the Eglise Saint Sulpice in Paris. I liked the texture, the thin stripes and the folds which I could imagine on a dress.
Wikipedia knows: Inside the church to either side of the entrance are the two halves of an enormous shell (Tridacna gigas) given to King Francis I by the Venetian Republic. They function as holy water fonts and rest on rock-like bases sculpted by Jean-Baptiste Pigalle.
