The history of mannequin
We have seen mannequins and heard the word, but we know who invented them or how long they have been used?
The dummy word came from the Dutch word Maneken "which means that men little. There are two accepted spellings for dummy -" dummy "and "Dummy", which is closer to the Dutch word original. The meaning of the term today is either "a human figure model for display clothing, hats or leather or a dressmaker's assistant who wears new clothes to display them for sale in dressmaking houses. "
In fact, no know who created the first full-body mannequin. It is believed that the creation of a form of clothing dates back thousands of years. Later, an article called a "fashion doll" began circulating around France. These dolls range from 12 inches to the size of life and where he always wore elegance. The dolls were exchanged between the royals and the merchant class.
It was later during the Industrial revolution and the invention sample-glass window that such 'dolls' became useful in showing a clothing store. Various types of dummies were initially designed everything from clothes and straw with feet of lead to the wax.
said wax dummies that cost $ 15 each, a tidy sum at that time. Even during that time, the mannequins were mostly women and reflect the beauty and "ideal" of the time - with "breasts full." The problem with dummies wax was the heat in the large glass windows caused the dummies to melt. As for Dummies powerful lead-footed, they only relevant problem when moving or dress as they could weigh up to 300 pounds.
If you look at mannequins in different periods of time, you will see that each epoch has its own characteristics - from facial expression, body language (posture) and course measurements. modern mannequins seem sized Barbie dolls natural - tall and thin, full-bodied tone, it seems boring and usually a size 4. Compare with mannequins fifty years ago, and you'll find the mannequins built after World War II were shorter and had a happy facial expression. The first dummies were also only available in three basic poses - left with right foot, right foot forward, or both feet together.
Depression and World War II brought shortages and windows became rather somber with the mannequins of the day looking a little sad and worried. However all this changed when the war was over and the dummies end of 1940 seemed happy and prosperous, some of them even wore a radiant smile. mannequin man in particular, seemed relaxed and some even had holes drilled between his lips for the insertion of tubes! Mannequins reflects the beauty "ideal" of the time it was designed and manufactured.
In the decade 1950 new materials were available and the end of 1960 the true mass production of fiberglass and plastic mannequins became a reality.
The Advances in technology have continued to model for artists now can produce any design imaginable and is limited only by the limits of their creativity.
