When you should draw the line

Lines and curves can make or break a design. When constructing a new garment, the darts or seams have to lay in the right places to accentuate the body and hug the curves perfectly. I love how the photographer worked with the lines of fit in the garments and incorporated it into the background through shadows, lines and curves. The use of architectural lines and balloons draw the eye to the important, more detailed parts of the garment. Such a beautiful, all around amazing editorial!

I love how they positioned the model into a curved position that follows the shape of the wall and the lines on her dress and shoes mirror the background:





My two favorite pictures below. The background is sharp and hard, but the dresses are fluid and beautifully draped
