Experiment With Rorschach

The Rorschach test (German pronunciation: [ˈʁoːɐʃax]), also known as the Rorschach inkblot test, the Rorschach technique, or simply the inkblot test is a psychological test in which the subject’s perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Perhaps the fashion industry is on a mission to subliminally con us into buying the Rorschach-inspired pieces, or maybe this is just a new flux in textile design.  Either way, we’ve recently noticed a huge wave of clothing donning inkblot reminiscent designs.  From clear mirrored images and water color blotches to more abstract designs, fashion is taking a cue from Swiss Freudian Psychiatry.  Look into these pieces…what do you see?
