Grand Illusion

In art, the term "trompe l'oeil" is defined as to deceive or trick the eye into perceiving a painted detail as a three-dimensional object. In fashion, many designer tricksters utilize optical illusion to bring humor, create perspective, add dimension, or make elements virtually disappear!

This week show us all the tricks up your sleeve: figure flattering cuts, shelf bust designs, hourglass shaping, illusion necklines, sheer fabrics, faux patterns, and of course true trompe l'oeil pieces.
