Marble may be a material you think of for high-end bathrooms, kitchen islands and foyers, but the classic stone coveted by home renovation buffs is making its way to the runways as one of this season's top trending styles -- thanks, in part, to Alexander Wang's debut collection at Balenciaga.
Though at first it may seem like an unlikely source of inspiration, marble evokes a feeling of timeless luxury. And, yet, when used as a pattern, its haphazard, swirling look also feels completely modern -- like a canvas of abstract art.
Some of the biggest fashion names are currently flaunting the marble effect in designs for every piece of your wardrobe -- from blouses and boyfriend sweaters to sunglasses and shoes. And since accents kind of make us weak in the knees (right?), we've chosen the best accessory pieces for making a statement right now.

What lacked in color at Alexander Wang's debut on the Balenciaga Fashion Week runway made up in pure elegance and charm. The black and white marble accents took over every aspect of the show -- from marble print blouses to these marbled D'Orsay pumps, right down to the white marble runway.
We nearly tore our bulky shatter-proof cases off our iPhones when we spotted this fashion-forward gem on Pinterest. Marble print meets patent leather? Cool and tasteful.
