In New York I ran a photography studio, and witnessed a lot of fashion shoots. The clothes would be delivered from the fashion designer's studio, and it was the stylist's job to make those clothes fit whatever models had been hired for the shoot.

Because shoots move quickly, and the garments couldn't be physically modified, stylists frequently used safety pins, binder clips and the like to pinch the fabric (on the side of the model's body that the camera couldn't see). So I was amused to see this Eye Clip , by Issey Miyake.

It's basically an XL version of what a stylist might use during a shoot. It's meant to be worn out in the open, and allows the wearer to don ridiculously wrong-sized garments, in the name of fashion.
