Trompe l'oeil is the art of deception, perception and optical illusions to trick the eye.
People normally don't think of fashion designers as trompe l'oeil artists, (it's reserved for painters and graphic artists), but I can't help thinking that fashion designers are in this category too. We're often asked to make waists thinner, or a bust fuller with just a slight curvature of a design line or careful placement of seams. In a way, we are illusionists (the fashion industry did invent Vanity sizing and push-up bras).
I can't remember where I found these images, but they caught me off guard for just a second.
