18. PRODUCT DESIGN and FASHION

PRODUCT DESIGN and FASHION as art object/sculpture. Again moving toward or against the idea of "form follows function", as with architectural sculpture, works in this category may address less common or improbable needs for consumers as a conceptual basis for the work, or it or move toward fantasy. This genre resists categorization in its crossing of disciplines.
