7. Padding

Padding is generally used in fashion to give the illusion of a figure the model may not have... i.e wider shoulders, bigger hips. Padding is also used to give volume, shape and form in garments. 

Here are some examples on how designers use padding in different ways:

Viktor and Rolf  'Dolls' 2008

Rei Kawakubo Fall 2010


Comme des Garcons Autumn Winter 2010
Rei Kawakubo Fall 2010



Rihanna 


Rihanna made an explosive start to the North American leg of her Last Girl On Earth world tour with this inflated padding on this dress. 

Lady Gaga

We see padding in garments all over the red carpet lately... gives a deceiving silhouette to a persons figure.
