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.
Helmut Newton's 'Mannequin being tossed off roof', 1978
Pierre Imans’s lesbian couple, 1920
And Lanvin A/W 1987 by David Seidner
And Greer Lankton's Jackie Kennedy, 1985
And her Edie Sedgwick, c. 1980s
And this mannequin at Gustave Courbet's studio in Ornans, photographed by Eugène Feyen, 1864
And Hans Bellmer's The Doll, 1934–35
And Lanvin’s A/W 2012 windows
And Rid Burman’s photoessay about migrant workers for Esquire Singapore
And Mat Collishaw, Vogue Italia, March 1999

Oh swoon, and Gene Moore's Tiffany & Co. windows c. 1950s
