Fashion designers are constantly using their imaginative talents to create clothing and runway looks that will blow audiences away, and these chic 3D apparel pieces are some fantastic examples of how architectural and visual designs can make a bold and enticing appearance.
While three-dimensional features are often associated with visual experiences at the movies, these creative visual perceptions are now being incorporated into other products such as jewelry and now fashion lines. By adding a sleek three-dimensional look to a garment, designers are able to create a bold ensemble piece that seemingly appears to be protruding outwards in form and structure.
Creating an overall striking depth in perception, these 3D apparel pieces are taking ordinary fashion to a whole other level by incorporating architectural shapes and visual depth into the overall design.
