Mannequins

The word ‘mannequin’ comes from the Dutch word ‘manekin’ which means little men. Mannequins or dress forms were said to have been used by the Pharaohs of Egypt for their costume fittings! But the modern versions of mannequins have come up only since the late 1700s. Wickerwork and wireframe mannequins were the precursors to the modern fiberglass and plastic mannequins.

Today’s mannequins are not just figures displaying clothes; they present the ideal look for the season. That’s why the visual merchandisers nowadays see mannequins as their favourite sales weapon. If an outfit is displayed on a mannequin, it will sell. Fashion and trend has almost become synonymous with what’s displayed on the mannequin.

Why do retailers need mannequins?

It presents to the customer a general idea of how a piece of clothing or accessory will look on him/her. When a dress is kept folded in a rack or hanged, it is difficult to visualize how it will look on a person’s body. Since a significant factor for sales is convincing the customer to buy something, a mannequin is the most suitable way to do it. So it becomes a tool for sales as well as an ideal model to the customers.

Mannequins today reflect lots of attitude and poise. There are different types of mannequins depending on the type of look that you want to portray.

Male Mannequins	Female Mannequins	Kids Mannequins	Flexible Mannequins
Realistic Mannequins	Innovative Mannequins

How to choose mannequins for your retail store?

• First it depends on the type of clothing store that you own, a flashy boutique, a thrift store and so on
• Next identify the target audience; the customers that you want to enter the store- teens, women etc.
• Then the budget that you are willing to spend, there are fiberglass mannequins which are pricy whereas plastic ones that costs less.
• Choose mannequins on the type of clothing style you sell, whether it is sporty and athletic or luxurious and chic.

When these concerns are addressed then it is easy to decide which type of mannequins would be perfect for your store; realistic, abstract, flexible or headless. Sometimes a mix of different types would be ideal. Then you just have to display the season’s trends on the mannequins and soon they will be flying off the shelves. Mannequins can also reflect the store’s brand image i.e. if you are trying to convey a sophisticated look or a street smart appeal.
