Royal Family Choice: Stripes, latest Fashion Trend
Stripes in Fashion?
Walking along the streets of Vienna, I came across a garment shop. The shop had displayed many mannequins with their latest products on. I would have almost crossed it when I suddenly felt the mannequins’ faces are familiar.
I was stunned to see the cutouts of faces of Royal Family members. All five of them with smiles on their faces, sporting striped T-shirts; I couldn’t believe it was actually their faces. Whatever did the salesman have in his mind!
The extent they go to advertise their products. These shots were taken on second of May 2011, the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton was just over.
Influencing buyers with this display was novel, I thought. I looked at Lady Diana’s cut out once, and then once more, how beautiful she looked! When she visited India I had sat glued to TV to catch a glimpse of her on screen. Here, I took many shots of the family which I felt would be rare.
I had submitted this first picture to National Geographic and I was pleasantly surprised to see it was selected to National Geographic Daily Dozen June Week 4.
Stripes Fashion
Are you inspired to wear stripes? Wear them with plain colors. If your top is striped wear it with matching single color jeans or skirts and vice versa.
Stripes: Vertical or Horizontal?
Did you notice all were wearing horizontal stripes? T-shirts are mostly made in horizontal striped prints. Do you know why?
Studies related to optical illusion prove that horizontal stripes don’t make you look fatter. When you compare 2 identically sized women wearing stripes, the one with horizontally striped dress looks slimmer.
Helmholtz Illusion – Optical effect in which a square with horizontal stripes appear taller and thinner compared to one with vertical stripes.
