There's so much overlap, and gives it more dimension. <BR/><BR/>Doreen: I agree with you. It's kind of uncharted waters in some ways, as our lifespans have increased. Thanks for visiting.<BR/><BR/>Stephanie: That's very interesting about your costume design instruction. Once I learned about this "line of beauty" I noticed that it's everywhere. Maybe Hogarth just consciously wrote about something that's all everywhere in nature. <BR/><BR/>Saje and ProSup: thank you for the kind comments. Red pashmina---a definite maybe.<BR/><BR/>Imogen: Haven't really thought about "classic" styles that way, but I see what you mean.sallymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15832828827048897372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494416304107404915.post-61977916956625692502009-03-08T03:10:00.000-06:002009-03-08T03:10:00.000-06:00Great post Sallymandy - I love the S curve line - ...Great post Sallymandy - I love the S curve line - it's very feminine and works well on the female body.<BR/><BR/>Classic clothes are all vertical and horizontal lines and more masculine in appearance.<BR/><BR/>Feminine clothes have soft curves and lines are thus are softer and more feminine in appearance.<BR/><BR/>I think the reason that so many go on about slimming verticals, is just that so many people want to know how to look slim, so this concept is talked about frequently.Imogen Lamport, AICI CIPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16796095692232856223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494416304107404915.post-24078120952404680722009-03-07T23:13:00.000-07:002009-03-07T23:13:00.000-07:00Wonderful!

I refer to this concept very vaguely when addressing some concepts with my costume design students, especially when discussing the function of "focus" within an individual costume and within the overall stage picture. I draw a line like that one in the air in front of me, from the top to the bottom of my body while facing them, explaining that one way to make a costume aesthecially pleasing is to make the audience's focus follow an invisible S-curve down and then up the body, eventually landing our focus comfortably at the performer's head and shoulders. Impossible to explain it well in writing here, but the gist of it is very much related to the thoughts you have shared here.Stephanie N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09582031215488414276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494416304107404915.post-53044783449573629322009-03-07T07:38:00.000-07:002009-03-07T07:38:00.000-07:00I never knew of the "line of beauty".

I love your blog as you always bring up these small, but priceless pieces of information.;)<BR/><BR/>I do not adjust to the magazines ideals of beauty. To me, a woman that is beautiful is very rarely young and thin. Furthermore, how ever cliche it may sound, beauty in a person is truly internal; style, spirit, attitude and an overall sort of charisma defines the way I perceive beauty. In men and women;))Zuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494416304107404915.post-27056172063498684302009-03-07T05:48:00.000-07:002009-03-07T05:48:00.000-07:00Great post.
