Asymmetry

Asymmetry in garments is simply when one side of the piece is not the same as the other for example in a one shoulder dress.

In 2009, a popular year for the trend, Lanvin displayed many examples of asymmetry in the collection. This one shoulder dress immediately says asymmetry as it is the main feature.

This designer is best known for large scale, high volume garments but this piece displays a less conventional use of asymmetry. Any garment which is not completely symmetrical from all angles is considered otherwise.
