Fashion Inspiration: Aggregates, Accumulators and Artefacts |

I have recently been carrying out a research about three themes – aggregates, accumulators and artefacts. A while back while walking around Rome's city centre I took a picture of this window shop (some readers wrote asking what it is, well, it's the dolls hospital, not far from Piazza del Popolo). I found it interesting since it seemed to summarise pretty well all the main points of my research.

The owner acted as accumulator, while the mass of broken dolls and porcelain items on display are the aggregates and the artefacts as well since some of them may have been made by hand. Could this theme – aggregates, accumulators and artefacts – be good enough for a fashion design or accessory collection? Fashion students out there put your thinking cap on.
