I saw a ‘Gucci Tears’ blog entry (https://cryinginstitute.artnextsociety.net/2022/11/10/gucci-tears/) with some images of tears displayed as accessories on the runway.

This is a small compilation to show how they have been differently represented .
From the entry ‘Gucci Tears’ entry I wanted to underline the concept of tears as a product:
