Sinuous vs geometric
In the late 1920s, a new streamlined design aesthetic dubbed Moderne (now known as Art Deco) combined Cubism’s geometric base with sinuous embellishments. Once again, textile patterns and fashion design echoed the trend. Shiny fabrics only enhanced the connection with the "speed" of modern life–and art. --http://tirocchi.stg.brown.edu/514/story/fashion_art.html [Feb 2006]
