It is common for clothing manufacturers to form patterns on jeans that simulate wear or that make another fashion statement. Such patterns are often referred to as “finishes” and are typically formed by manually abrading the jean material or using specialized lasers that remove dye from the outer surface of the material. These finishes form brightness gradients on the jeans. Specifically, areas that have been acted upon will be lighter than areas that have not been acted upon.
The human vision system automatically interprets brightness gradients, such as those formed on jeans, as three-dimensional forms. When the gradients are associated with the human form, human beings automatically assign an attractiveness to the three-dimensional forms. Therefore, when a pair of jeans having a particular finish is worn by an individual, others automatically make determinations as to the attractiveness of the individual's lower body based in part on the nature of the finish.
A problem with existing finishes is that they can actually make the individual's form less attractive to others, a result that is clearly not desired by the individual wearing the garment. It would therefore be desirable to form patterns on jeans, or other garments, that do not reduce the attractiveness of the wearer. Indeed, it would be desirable to form patterns on garments that make the wearer more physically attractive.
The present disclosure may be better understood with reference to the following figures. Matching reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the figures, which are not necessarily drawn to scale.
As described above, it would be desirable to form patterns on garments that do not reduce the attractiveness of the wearer and, more preferably, increase the physical attractiveness of the wearer. Disclosed herein are systems and methods for achieving these goals, as well as garments that result from use of the systems and methods. Generally speaking, the garments include a pattern that forms a brightness gradient across the surface of the garment that emulates the contours of an ideally proportioned body. Because the brightness gradient is based upon ideal proportions of the human form and because the brain interprets the gradients as three-dimensional shapes, the gradients create a three-dimensional interpretation of a maximally attractive form, thereby increasing the attractiveness of the garment wearer. In some embodiments, the brightness gradients are generated by creating ideally attractive three-dimensional models of the human form for each of multiple garment sizes and illuminating the models to generate brightness gradients that can be used to create two-dimensional templates, which can be used to form the patterns on the garments. Because the patterns are based on the anatomy of an ideally proportioned body, the patterns can be referred to as “anatomy shading.”
In the following disclosure, various specific embodiments are described. It is to be understood that those embodiments are example implementations of the disclosed inventions and that alternative embodiments are possible. All such embodiments are intended to fall within the scope of this disclosure.
It is known from the field of vision science that brightness gradients are automatically interpreted by the human visual system in terms of three-dimensional shapes. Therefore, brightness gradient patterns on garments, such as jean finishes, trigger the visual system to automatically engage in creating a three-dimensional shape. The human vision further automatically evaluates human shapes for attractiveness. It is known from the field of evolutionary psychology that each time an individual encounters a person, the individual's brain automatically evaluates a multitude of sensory cues relating to the health and reproductive fitness of the person within a fraction of a second. The individual's initial judgment on attractiveness is a summary of that evaluation, with greater attractiveness being felt toward individuals who appear healthier and more reproductively fit. Therefore, the three-dimensional shape of a person's body is a critical sensory cue that is used to assess the attractiveness of the person.
In view of these insights, it has been determined that clothing patterns can be utilized to capitalize upon the natural operation of the human vision system and brain. In particular, brightness gradient patterns can be provided on garments that trick the visual system into visualizing attractive three-dimensional shapes. Described below are garment patterns that can be used to increase the perceived attractiveness of the garment wearer. More particularly, described below are jeans “finishes” for the posterior of women's jeans that increase the attractiveness of the wearer's buttocks and upper thighs. While this specific application is discussed in detail, it is noted that the same principles can be applied to create patterns for substantially any body part and substantially any garment.
The literature in the plastic surgery field has identified several properties of the three-dimensional shape of the female buttocks and upper thighs that are considered to be highly attractive.
If a template can be created that gives the observer the impression of the shapes that result from some or all of these criteria, the attractiveness of a wearer of a pair of jeans having a finish based upon the template can be increased.
Templates of the type described above can be created in a variety of ways. In some embodiments, templates can be created based upon three-dimensional computer models, or avatars, of ideal human forms. More particularly, an ideal avatar can be created for each of multiple body (e.g., pant) sizes for the purpose of creating a template for each size.
As indicated in
Once these brightness gradients have been generated, they can be used to create templates for patterns that can be applied to garments. This process is schematically illustrated in
As can be appreciated from the image in the right panel of
The brightness gradient can further be described in terms of the perspective of the observer. This is illustrated in
Although only the rear view of the avatar was used to form the pattern shown in
The brightness gradients can be further mathematically defined using a set of control points C(x, y, z) in R3 given by a discrete function of the form C(x, y, z)=(x, y, b(x, y)).
Given the control points C(x, y, z)=(x, y, b(x, y)), a corresponding brightness gradient is any subset of any discretization of any continuous function A((x, y, a(x, y)) satisfying ∇a=∇λS(b(x,y)) where S is a surface spline of order 3 or greater, λϵR+ is a global scale factor, and
is the gradient. These mathematics indicate that one can obtain a brightness gradient from a set of control points C(x, y, z) by using a polynomial function, such as a spline curve. For example, the brightness gradient can be obtained by: (1) creating a surface spline from the control points, (2) scaling the surface spline, (3) computing the slope at each control point, (4) interpolating a surface that matches the slope at each control point, (5) discretizing this surface, (6) adding to each point Gaussian noise of zero mean and standard deviation less than 10% of the standard deviation of the entire surface, and (7) selecting the subset of the discretized surface that corresponds appropriate to the location on the garment. Step (6) allows for small variations in anatomy finishes due to effects such as laser noise and the microstructure of the fabric of the garment.
Once a brightness gradient has been created, one still must determine the magnitude that the gradient will have when it is applied to a garment as anatomy shading and, therefore, how obvious the gradient will be. A psychophysical experiment was designed to determine the optimal magnitude of the brightness gradient when provided on jeans. In the experiment, participants were given the freedom to adjust how bright the gradient appeared, from invisible to highly visible. The participants could not, however, modify the brightness gradient (i.e., relative brightness), which was fixed. Participants were instructed to adjust the amount of “shading” until the human figure looked maximally attractive.
The results of this experiment are shown in the graph of
As an alternative and non-limiting embodiment, anatomy shaded pants according to the present invention (including but not limited to jeans) may comprise, either singly or in any combination, (a) relatively bright spots associated with the central region of each buttock, (b) relatively dark spots associated with the infragluteal folds, and (c) relatively bright spots associated with the upper rear thighs of the ideally proportioned body. It will be appreciated that the location and size of the relatively bright and dark spots will vary depending on the size of the pant or jean.
In some embodiments, the relatively bright spots associated with the central region of each buttock may have center points that are generally vertically located between 4.5 and 7.5 inches above the crotch level, and generally horizontally located between 1.5 and 4.5 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 5 and 7 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 2 and 4 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 5.5 and 7 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 2.2 and 3.5 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 5.7 and 6.7 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 2.5 and 3 inches from the center seam. For example, for size 6 jeans, the relatively bright spots associated with the central region of each buttock may have center points that are generally vertically located between 4.5 and 7.5 inches above the crotch level, and generally horizontally located between 1.5 and 4.5 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 5 and 7 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 2 and 4 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 5.5 and 6.5 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 2.3 and 3.2 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 5.7 and 6.1 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 2.5 and 3 inches from the center seam. And for example, for size 14 jeans, the relatively bright spots associated with the central region of each buttock may have center points that are generally vertically located between 5.5 and 7.5 inches above the crotch level, and generally horizontally located between 1.5 and 4.5 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 6 and 7 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 2 and 4 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 6.2 and 6.8 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 2.2 and 3.5 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 6.5 and 6.8 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 2.7 and 2.9 inches from the center seam. Generally, the brightness gradient decreases outwardly from the center point (or region surrounding the center point) until the brightness level matches that of the garment before the finish was applied. The shape of each bright spot may vary but may be spherical, oval or aspherical. The bright spots will have a variable area depending on the gradient level. Alternatively, each bright spot may have an area of between 20 and 40 square inches, alternatively between 25 and 35 square inches.
In some embodiments, the relatively dark spots associated with the infragluteal folds may have center points that are generally vertically located between 0.5 inches below and 4 inches above the crotch level, and generally horizontally located between 3 and 6.5 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 0 and 3 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 3.5 and 6 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 1 and 2.5 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 4 and 5.5 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 1.3 and 2.3 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 4 and 5 inches from the center seam. For example, for size 6 jeans, the relatively dark spots associated with the infragluteal folds may have center points that are generally vertically located between 0.5 inches below and 2.5 inches above the crotch level, and generally horizontally located between 3.5 and 6.5 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 0 and 2 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 4 and 6 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 0.5 and 1.5 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 4.5 and 5.5 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 1 and 1.3 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 4.7 and 5.5 inches from the center seam. And for example, for size 14 jeans, the relatively dark spots associated with the infragluteal folds may have center points that are generally vertically located between 1.5 and 4 inches above the crotch level, and generally horizontally located between 3 and 6 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 2 and 3.5 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 3.5 and 5.5 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 2 and 3 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 4 and 5 inches from the center seam; alternatively vertically located between 2.3 and 2.7 inches above the crotch level, and horizontally located between 4.2 and 4.7 inches from the center seam. Generally, the brightness gradient increases outwardly from the center point (or region surrounding or contiguous with the center point) until the brightness level matches that of the garment before the finish was applied. The shape of each dark spot may vary but may generally be an irregular elongated oval or curving projection that extends outwards from the crotch. The dark spots will have a variable area depending on the gradient level. Alternatively, each dark spot may have an area of between 4 and 20 square inches, alternatively between 5 and 15 square inches, alternatively between 6 and 12 square inches.
In some embodiments, the relatively bright spots associated with the upper rear thighs may have center points that are generally vertically located between 1.5 and 4.5 inches below the crotch level, and generally horizontally located between 5 and 8 inches from the inner seam of the leg; alternatively vertically located between 2 and 4 inches below the crotch level, and horizontally located between 5.5 and 7.5 inches from the inner seam of the leg; alternatively vertically located between 2 and 3 inches below the crotch level, and horizontally located between 6 and 7 inches from the inner seam of the leg; alternatively vertically located between 2.5 and 3 inches below the crotch level, and horizontally located between 6 and 6.8 inches from the inner seam of the leg. For example, for size 6 jeans, the relatively bright spots associated with the upper rear thighs may have center points that are generally vertically located between 1.5 and 3.5 inches below the crotch level, and generally horizontally located between 5 and 7.5 inches from the inner seam of the leg; alternatively vertically located between 2 and 3 inches below the crotch level, and horizontally located between 5.5 and 7 inches from the inner seam of the leg; alternatively vertically located between 2.2 and 2.8 inches below the crotch level, and horizontally located between 5.8 and 6.7 inches from the inner seam of the leg; alternatively vertically located between 2.3 and 2.7 inches below the crotch level, and horizontally located between 6 and 6.5 inches from the inner seam of the leg. And for example, for size 14 jeans, the relatively bright spots associated with the upper rear thighs may have center points that are generally vertically located between 1.5 and 4.5 inches below the crotch level, and generally horizontally located between 5 and 8 inches from the inner seam of the leg; alternatively vertically located between 2 and 4 inches below the crotch level, and horizontally located between 5.5 and 7.3 inches from the inner seam of the leg; alternatively vertically located between 2.5 and 3.5 inches below the crotch level, and horizontally located between 6 and 7 inches from the inner seam of the leg; alternatively vertically located between 2.8 and 3.2 inches below the crotch level, and horizontally located between 6.3 and 6.9 inches from the inner seam of the leg. Generally, the brightness gradient decreases outwardly from the center point (or region surrounding the center point) until the brightness level matches that of the garment before the finish was applied. The shape of each bright spot may vary but may generally be an elongated regular or irregular (or partial regular or irregular) oval. The bright spots will have a variable area depending on the gradient level. Alternatively, each bright spot may have an area of between 20 and 80 square inches, alternatively between 20 and 50 square inches, alternatively between 25 and 40 square inches.
The magnitude of the brightness of the bright spots and the degree of contrast between the bright spots and the dark spots may vary. The magnitude of the brightness of bright spots on jeans and other garments can be measured through use of a spectroradiometer. By way of non-limiting example, the peak magnitude of the brightness of the bright spots on the garments described herein, as measured by spectroradiometer under normal indoor fluorescent lighting, may range anywhere from 2.5 to 6 cd/m2, alternatively 2.8 to 5 cd/m2, alternatively 3 to 4 cd/m2.
A further experiment was performed to test whether or not the subjects really do prefer the anatomy shading finish to conventional jean finishes. In each trial, a subject was shown a jean with a standard finish created by VF Corporation and the same jean with an anatomy shading finish. The subject's task was to use a slider to indicate which finish was more attractive and by how much. The data from this experiment, across seven different styles of jeans, are shown in
As noted above, anatomy shading comprising brightness gradients can be applied to areas other than just the buttocks and rear thighs of jeans. For example, anatomy shading can be provided to the calves and the fronts of the thighs of jeans to emulate ideal proportions of those areas of the body. It is further noted that, while the above discussion has focused on jeans, anatomy shading can be provided on other pants, as well as other garments, which may include underwear, shorts, and shirts. Moreover, while applications for women's garments have been discussed with particularity, it is noted that anatomy shading that emulates ideal male proportions can be provided to men's garments in a similar manner.
