Not clothing, but a nice example of trompe l'oeil: bedsheets by Bless, with a sleeping couple printed on them. Sorry if you can't see much from the pic, this was the only one I could find (from www.bless-service.de).

Here we go...

That sheets are so cool!

A presto!

i have wondered for a while now what this is......have seen you all bring it up in discussions in designers & collections and not wanted to step out and ask........

so i looked it up....and got a lot along the lines of....:
(French) trick of the eye, used especially in regard to graphic finishes which give the illusion of depth (ie the realistic painting of doors and architectural fixtures on a flat surface).

what exactly qualifies as trompe l'oeil in fashion....??....
the examples here help....though i'm still a little confused...
is it that almost cartoonish 'drawing' effect....?

i dont see it in the jpg pics........

 

[Estella*]

it is usually used to describe something that gives you the illusion (tricks you) of having a bow on it for example, as with this elsa schiaparelli piece:

[adorefaith]

okay.....
thx anna......

so do the gaultier pics qualify as trompe l'oeil...?
does the 'illusion' have to be through a specific method....or of a specific thing...ei. a bow, belt, etc..?

 

[Estella*]

i don't think it has to be a specific method or a specific thing.
but to me the gaultier pieces do not really qualify.
i'll leave the field to the more elaborate now

[Spike413]

The JPG are kind of a trompe l'oeil, but I think it's much more common in regards to a print or something, like those sneakers. It's like, something that looks like it's there, but it's not really there.

Moschino s/s 06

Marc Jacobs f/w 01

Lanvin s/s 03

[adorefaith]

thanks very much spike....
very helpful....

what about the lanvin pics though...?
are they not jeweled...

 

[Spike413]

yeah, the Lanvin aren't a traditional trompe l'oeil, but I though since it suggests a necklace that isn't actually there it kind of fit.

Almost forgot YSL s/s 03, which played heavily with trompe l'oeil effects

[adorefaith]

thx for the pics lena....

how do they do this...?...is it labor intensive....or time consuming...?
so many questions....i know....

*edit...
alright i'm a little bit confused....
these most recent pics....the detailing on the back.....why is this trompe l'oeil....what is it 'suggesting'....?.....
