We're about to see a lot of fashion off the body in magazines for the coming season. No models. No hair and make up artists. The museum mannequin comes into its own. La Rosa have been making them since the 1920s: https://www.wallpaper.com/fashion/la-rosa-milanese-mannequin-specialists

Made me think of this by Charles H. Traub — Reggio Emilia, Italy, 1984

And Umbo’s fluffy mules, 1928

And Michael and China Chow with an Adel Rootstein mannequin of Tina Chow, 1973

And Sayoko Yamaguchi at her Rootstein fitting, 1977

And of course, the icon that is ‘Cynthia’ by Lester Gaba — the pair were the toast of the town in 1930s New York

And, John Nissen's laughing mannequin in the window of Bonwit Teller Chicago, 1979

Nissen had quite amazing catalogues. This page here makes me think of @oliviasinger WFH.
