I n 1964, when Twiggy was 14 years old, Adel Rootstein created the Twiggy mannequin which was sculpted with Twiggy as the model. In fact, she chose Twiggy before she really became the name of the decade. Style comes second. Fashion can no longer be dictated by a few. From western to romance, to the grunge during the early 90s.
Fashion can be everything or anything.
Mannequins although they still represent the ideal, has to follow suit. With today's fashion being so varied and can run to extremes the design of a mannequin is often in danger of being out of date before it is completed. I t takes about 12 months from the drawing to the showroom. That is the life cycle of coming out with a new mannequin line. R alph Pucci usually commissions artists to create the avant-garde Pucci mannequins.
