A couple of years ago, I viewed a collection of historic designer gowns in the De Young Museum in San Francisco.  It was very successful because of its unifying theme of fashion, and its unifying subset theme of evening gowns.  The collection displayed how evening gown fashion evolved through time.  Gown design is truly a form of sculpture.  The designer must have an excellent mind for spatial thinking in order to manipulate fabric into a flowing cathedral for the body.

This collection did not give into infinity because it had a clear boundary with in the realm of fashion, in particular the evening gown.
