As Visual Merchandisers, mannequins are one of the most important tools that we use at the store level, so I wanted to share a few videos that I've found over the years. The common theme that runs through all of them is that the fabrication of manniquins is a true craft. Although thousands of mannis are produced and re-produced, from beginning to end they are a hand-made product. The original form is sculpted out of clay, cast, un-molded, sanded, painted and assembled by hand. Enjoy!
