Chapter 51: Candidates

"First of all, let's take a look at this theory, Rumholtz's square illusion theory" Shi Lanyin began to be confident as soon as she started to demonstrate, although she was still the dinosaur face, but the aura she exuded made people ignore her face, and began to stop talking and began to listen to her explanation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shi Lanyin opened the PPT, it was a picture, but it was not a design work, but two squares. Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Shi Lanyin began to explain: "Everyone, please see, this is the Helmholtz square, these are two squares of exactly the same size, and the inside is filled with a set of vertical parallel lines and a set of horizontal parallel lines. But Helmholtz found that although the actual area was the same, it appeared that the vertical lines covered a larger area, a theory known as the Helmholtz square illusion theory"

Seeing that everyone was interested in her speech, Shi Lanyin began to talk endlessly, she clicked on the PPT and switched to a statistical table: this is a statistical table recently made by Dr. Peter Thompson of the Department of Psychology at York University in the United Kingdom. He conducted an experiment in which he dressed more than 200 women in horizontal and vertical stripes, and then took a total of more than 400 photos for the volunteers to see. As a result, volunteers generally agreed that the same woman felt thinner when wearing clothes with horizontal stripes than clothes with vertical stripes. While the two different women, despite being of similar stature to the naked eye, one wore a horizontal stripe and the other wore a vertical stripe, 53% of the volunteers thought that the women wearing the horizontal stripes looked thinner than the ones wearing the vertical stripes. Wearing clothes with vertical stripes won't make you look slimmer, and wearing clothes with horizontal stripes won't make you look fatter. I think the general principles of dressing in the past are misleading. ”

The Four Realms nodded, the reason why he interrupted Qu Xiaoxiao's demonstration was because Qu Xiaoxiao's design used too many vertical bar elements, and Shi Lanyin was very smart. In fact, he has already studied some of the stripe elements. However, there is a bug in Shi Lanyin's argument, although the horizontal stripes are thin, they need a premise, I don't know if she can find it.

The Four Realms have surveyed some other clothing counter salespeople, and according to them, some customers who are slightly fatter are constantly arguing with them about whether horizontal or vertical stripes are thinner when shopping for clothes. Nine of them objected to this statement, citing their years of sales experience as saying that the fact is that vertical stripes are thinner than horizontal stripes.

A walk around the mall shows that there are far more men's clothing than women's clothing with striped patterns, so the salesperson in the men's clothing department has more say in this. The 10 salespeople surveyed served 10 men's wear brands, including Tomyhifiger, Hushpuppies, Aquascutum, Ashworth, Tonywear, Monte Carno, Bosssunwen, Manhattan, Mark Warfield, and ESPRIT, including fashion brands, casual wear, formal wear and other categories.

Among them, only Ashworth's salesperson thinks that clothes with horizontal stripes are thinner than vertical stripes, and everyone else agrees that vertical stripes are thinner than horizontal stripes, and when recommending colors for customers who are on the fat side, they usually recommend vertical stripes over horizontal stripes. The Tommyhifiger salesperson gave an example: almost all striped shirts are vertically striped, and horizontal stripes are rarely visible. Indeed, after searching all these ten counters, I couldn't find a shirt with horizontal stripes, and a shirt with vertical stripes can be found in almost every counter with shirts. Nine salespeople said that the striped shirts are only vertical and not horizontal, which may be related to the increasing number of customers who are overweight. A salesperson with the surname Zhang at aquascutum recalled that in the past, men's pants were sold best in sizes of 2'3 and 2'4, but now they are the best sellers in sizes of 2'5 and 2'6. People are fatter than before, and clothing brands have designed with this in mind, and many styles are designed to make people who have gotten fat look thinner.

The Four Realms were thinking that he had discovered the problem of stripes after investigating men's clothing, and Shi Lanyin had only observed women's clothing, so would she find out about the bug of the stripe theory? The Four Realms stared at Shi Lanyin, looking forward to Shi Lanyin's speech in their hearts.

Shi Lanyin also posted her own works. Her work is a long skirt, if according to her previous argument, her works should be horizontal stripe elements, but her skirt is indeed a horizontal strip at the top and a vertical strip at the bottom, and unlike others, Shi Lanyin sets the width of the horizontal and vertical strips is not the same.

"Didn't you say that the bars are thinner? Why did you design the vertical bar again, and there are so many rips in front" Qu Xiaoxiao has been observing the Four Realms, and when he saw the Four Realms staring intently at Shi Lanyin's dinosaur face, he was unhappy and said.

As soon as Qu Xiaoxiao spoke, there were also people below who echoed him, Shi Lanyin suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart, perhaps because he had discovered Shi Lanyin's emotional changes, and the Four Realms opened his mouth to Shi Lanyin and said, "Continue your demonstration." ”

After Shi Lanyin heard the words of the Four Realms, she couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart, she adjusted her emotions and explained to everyone: "The previous Mholtz square illusion theory is just a theory, so it is only half correct, everything still needs to be practiced, through the investigation of some brands, I found that although the horizontal stripe thinning theory is correct, it needs a premise, that is, the horizontal stripes must be thin, and the more dark colors, the better." The thickness and color of the pinstripe stripes will have a completely different effect. I analyzed the company's main target customers, calculated the most average data, and only then set up this skirt. ”

The eyes of the Four Realms lit up, and they couldn't help but praise Shi Lanyin in their hearts, she was very smart. lived up to his expectations, found theoretical bugs, and knew how to investigate the company's main target customers, this Paris fashion show, it was her. The Four Realms were satisfied, and a slight smile appeared on his face, he opened his mouth to praise Shi Lanyin and said, "The design is very good, you are very smart. ”

Shi Lanyin glanced at the Four Realms before stepping off the stage, she seemed to see a smile on the face of the Four Realms, was it because of her? After she returned to her seat, she couldn't help but start laughing shallowly, originally the girl Huaichun was the most moving, but in the eyes of others, the picture was a dinosaur girl laughing obscenely, the picture was too beautiful to bear to look at directly.

Lin Yu poked Shi Lanyin, and the novel asked, "What are you laughing at, you are so strange today." And congratulations, the Four Realms have praised you personally, the person who will go to this fashion party must be you, I don't care, you have to invite me to dinner. ”

Shi Lanyin nodded, it just so happened that she also had something to ask Lin Yu. Qu Xiaoxiao on the side straightened the curls hanging down on his shoulders, looked at the nails on his hands, tomorrow he will ask his cousin to do a manicure again, Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at Shi Lanyin again, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, Shi Lanyin, is it too early to laugh so happily now, with me Qu Xiaoxiao here, the person who laughs last must not be you.
