In a brand clothing store in Changfu Street, the reporter saw that there were four rectangular fitting mirrors here, and these fitting mirrors were not placed vertically, but slightly inclined at an angle. In addition, the reporter also noticed that chandeliers were installed in front of these fitting mirrors. Then the reporter tried on a dress. Compared with the mirror at home, the reporter obviously feels that the mirror has thinned himself.

At this moment, it happened that another lady was trying on clothes. The reporter noticed that the lady was a little overweight and she was trying on a dress. She looks taller than the real person in the mirror, and her overall popularity is much better under the irradiation of chandeliers.

The shopping guide helped the lady tidy up and said, "This dress suits you very well and has a good waist. It looks slim and lifts the skin. " After listening to the shopping guide, the lady also smiled. She was satisfied with the clothes she tried on and decided to buy them.

The reporter visited more than a dozen clothing stores and found that the fitting mirrors in these stores are basically rectangular, and some are oval. Some smaller clothing stores use movable fitting mirrors, the angle of which can be tilted at will. The reporter found that when customers try on clothes, the shopping guide will tilt the mirror slightly backwards.

After a little statistics, the reporter found that the fitting mirrors of 8 stores are rectangular, 3 are oval, and 1 is slender and arc. In addition, the reporter found that chandeliers were installed in front of these fitting mirrors, and the strong light was directed at the fitting mirrors without exception. People standing in front of the mirror will look much brighter.

The visual teacher's modeling and placement create visual effects.

Does the height and thinness of a person have anything to do with the shape and angle of a mirror? The reporter consulted Zhang Fangfang, a teacher from school of visual arts Media Department.

"The fitting mirrors in shopping malls are generally slender, rectangular or oval, and there will be no such wide mirrors." Teacher Zhang explained that the slender mirror will make people feel vertically elongated and look like the people in the painting. If the composition ratio is just right, they will naturally feel beautiful. And a wide mirror will visually lengthen people horizontally, making them look short and fat.

In addition, tilting the mirror backward will also cause a visual lengthening effect. Teacher Zhang said that the bottom of the mirror is close to the foot, and the farther away from the person, the person's legs will be obviously elongated and look very high. "This is the same as taking pictures. If you shoot backwards, people will look much taller. " Teacher Zhang said that under normal circumstances, the angle of the mirror will not be very large. "This is too obvious to be true." Generally, the tilt is about 10 degree, which can be slim and not too obvious.

Silver plating and concave surface in mirror factory can also make people beautiful.

In addition to the shape and inclination angle of the mirror, the fitting mirror itself also hides secrets.

The reporter contacted a mirror manufacturer, and the staff told the reporter that the fitting mirrors in general shopping malls are different from ordinary mirrors at home. "Mirrors are all silver-plated. A layer of silver is enough for ordinary mirrors, but the fitting mirrors in shopping malls will be plated with several layers of silver. " The staff said that the fitting mirrors in shopping malls are generally plated with three layers of silver. "Because of the multi-layer silver-plated mirror, the reflected light will multiply and the Byakki Smoker will be more vivid and colorful."

In addition, many merchants install chandeliers in front of the fitting mirror, and the strong light hits the fitting mirror, which can better reflect the color of the clothes and make customers feel that the clothes are particularly glamorous.

Why do some mirrors look thin when they stand upright? If you think that the mirror in the shopping mall is also a flat mirror used at home, you are wrong. The staff said that the mirror is divided into flat mirror and curved mirror. The fitting mirror in the shopping mall will be a little concave mirror, and the mirror image in concave mirror will be slightly smaller than itself.

"But the radian of these concave mirror in the shopping mall is very small, and the slimming effect is not so exaggerated, which is not noticed by the naked eye." The staff member said.

Is silver-plated mirror more expensive than ordinary mirror in concave mirror? "Of course it will be more expensive." The staff said that they would receive orders from some clothing stores every day. "Ordinary mirrors only cost tens of dollars, and silver-plated ones are a little more expensive. The specific price varies according to the size and exquisiteness of the mirror, and the cheapest one is 100 yuan. "

Four lies in the experimental report

A lie is a shape.

The fitting mirrors in shopping malls are generally rectangular or oval, all of which are slender. This shape can produce an elongated effect to a certain extent, and the vertical ellipse and rectangle are visually slender compared with the body.

Lie 2 layout

Tilting mirrors are common in shopping malls.

Like the effect of shape, it also uses visual principles to make the figure look ideal. When a rectangular mirror with a narrow width leans against the wall at a certain angle, the proportion of upper body and lower body in the mirror is different, which will visually produce the effect that the lower body looks longer.
