Black and white stripes have a [dizzying effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) when they’re manipulated, and ‘Distorted Lines’ by Nydia Lilian showcases this phenomenon in fashion form. Using [striped shirts and dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25), the model twists and turns the fabric for a [surreal final product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks). I don’t know about you, but this is making me a little dizzy.
