# Micro Fashion Collections Peter Jensen and Laurie Simmons Create a Fashionista Mini-Heaven By Meghan Young | Published 2009-09-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laurie-simmons References: [stylebubble](http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2009/09/escape-into-the-other-world.html) & [lauriesimmons.net](http://www.lauriesimmons.net/) When I look at these Laurie Simmons creations, I can’t seem to quell the childish response, “I want, I want I want!” I truly believe that if my parents had given me just one of these dolls, I would not only have been the happiest child alive, I probably would have grown up to be the neighborhood fashionista. Whatever I feel now, however, probably doesn’t compare at all to what Peter Jensen felt when he saw the [unique work of Laurie Simmons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-like-heaven-art-exhibition). I mean, he actually went out of his way to [miniaturize his Sindy collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inedible-doll) and commission Laurie Simmons to create what you see before you. Take a look and appreciate the work of two masters. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Micro Fashion Collections:** The trend of creating miniature fashion collections opens up opportunities for innovative product designs and unique consumer experiences. - **Fashion Doll Customization:** The trend of customizing fashion dolls allows for personalized and unique fashion expressions, creating opportunities for niche markets and creative collaborations. - **Artistic Collaborations in Fashion:** The trend of artists and fashion designers collaborating brings together different creative perspectives, leading to disruptive and boundary-pushing fashion concepts. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy Manufacturing:** The toy manufacturing industry can capitalize on the trend of miniature fashion collections by creating innovative toy collections that appeal to fashion-forward children and collectors alike. - **Fashion Retail:** The fashion retail industry can explore the trend of fashion doll customization by offering customization services or partnering with artists to create limited edition doll collections, catering to fashion enthusiasts. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can benefit from the trend of artistic collaborations in fashion by fostering creative partnerships between artists and fashion designers, resulting in unique and collectible art-fashion pieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Doll-Inspired Modern Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilions-of-wonder.md) - [Artful Collectible Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fisherprice-little-people-x-andre-saraiva.md) - [Oversized Designer Kidswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jacquemus-mini-me.md) - [Miniature Baking Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-food.md) - [Pocket-Sized Collectible Compacts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polly-pocket-x-gcds.md) - [Tiny Toy-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polly-pocket-pool-party-collection.md) - [Doll-Inspired Pocket-Sized Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polly-pocket-x-alex-and-ani.md) - [Collectible Luxury Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marsper-x-gucci.md) - [Whimsical Doll-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pidgin.md)
