Mannequin Me.






The Bread and Butter Trade show in Berlin. These are a pinch of the photos I took whilst a visitor at the prestigious show full of every brand worth knowing! Here I have focused on; Mannequins. An articulated doll used by artists, illustrators, tailors and dressmakers according to wikipedia. Yet 1987 film 'Mannequin' gives a twisted, crazy yet somewhat likeable factor for the lifesized, and often headless dummies. At the trade show, they were everywhere, obviously because they were promoting fashion but mannequins that were styled purely to just be on show, to just be a mannequin. Often, certain brands will use the doll in store windows without being clothed, I usually notice this trend around sale time, it tells the consumer that there is a mysterious sale inside and you can only find out if you walk in-store.
