A computer-implemented method for indexing a database of human body shapes, wherein the human body shapes are represented in terms of coefficient vectors in a geometric body space. The method includes predicting, for human body shapes in the database, a vector of word ratings, based on parameters of the human body shape, using a mapping between the geometric body space and a linguistic body space, wherein the linguistic body space is represented in terms of body descriptor words; and storing the body descriptor words and their predicted rating values in the database with each human body shape.
