Mannequins To Look More Real

Posted January 28, 2014 18:10 by Alan

No longer will mannequins all look so perfect. They’ll look more like real people to give shoppers a realistic idea of how they’ll look in what they’re buying.

Stores are using more realistic versions of the usually tall, svelte, faceless mannequins in windows and aisles. It’s part of retailers’ efforts to make them look more like the women who wear their clothes. That means not only adding fat and hair, but also experimenting with makeup, wigs and even poses.
