White teardrops.

The other day I painted my fingernail with random shapes. I was tempting a swirl-like pattern but did not succeed. Instead, the shapes reminds me of teardrops and leaves. A friend of mine said my fingernails looks like candy. YUM!

Chandelier

In the photo to the left is a chandelier. I took this image because it display an a-line silhouette through the metal poles. On the right is a dress from Marchese Fall 2008 RTW, it has a sharp angle like the "A" that illustrates how an a-line would look like. 

Palmolive

I notice the palmolive oxy dash detergent bottle had a curve similar to a hourglass silhouette. So I took an image of it and compared it to Giambattista Valli Fall 2011 RTW dress. This silhouette is quite appealing because it emphasis a woman body parts. The hourglass silhouette balance and define each body parts. It equals the shoulders and hip with obvious waist indentation. 

Salt and Pepper shaker

At times the cafeteria food is plain and without these two shakers there would not be any flavors to my dinner. What I noticed about these two shakers is that it has ripples or a repeated fold to the shakers and it has an a-line silhouettes. The top is a little narrow then it widens near the bottom. To complete my shakers image is an Azzaro Spring 2011 RTW design. If you look at the models neck, the dress starts off narrow and is tightly secure to her neck. Also the garment becomes loose after that point and shows no indentation of waist. This silhouette features no body shape but can give the wearer a goddess look. 

Organic Flowers

So how does flower and Vivienne Westwood Fall 2010 RTW relate with each other? Well, when I took the pictures of the flowers, it reminded me of organic shapes. And in Vivienne Westwood designs, the construction is more free flowing and it hardly has geometric shapes. Going back to the flowers, is has many curve lines and obviously it is nature. The dress also has many curves because of the draping technique used. Also the head piece resembles to a flower.  

Ipod Silhouette

The Ipod seen in the center of the image is my favorite technology! It is protected by a black rubber case and invisible cover. While charging my Ipod, it reminded me of tubular silhouettes like the designs seen on both sides. On the left is a design from GiambattistaValli Fall 2011 RTW and on the right is Karl Lagerfeld Fall 2009 RTW. Both designs are a great example of tubular silhouettes because of the narrow construction and little indentation of waistline. Tubular silhouettes are commonly shapeless and resembles to a cylinder like form. Although, my Ipod is not round but the flat dimension reflects the front view of these two great designs.

Origami

One of the most interesting designs I find is origami intertwined with clothing piece. In Issey Miyake Fall 2011 RTW collection (image to the left), it incorporated origami like the image to the right from The Japanese Culture Blog. In these origami figures, there are different shapes like triangle, pentagons, and diamonds to form an object. It seems like Issey Miyake took those same concept and created clothing pieces. Also these designs maintain silhouettes; bell, wedge, hourglass, tubular, and a-line. For example, the design all the way to the left is bell and the middle design is wedge.
