galleries > Custom Mannequin Project - Southland VIC 2011

A recently completed custom mannequin project for one of our corporate retail clients in Melbourne - stage 1 of a nationwide rollout.

For this project we needed to mould the mannequins, leg forms and mannequin torsos from scratch. We were provided with images of head and body shape required and then we worked with our factory in China to make prototypes for the client to approve. The client also wanted to be able to hang their mannequins from the roof, which provided some technical and design challenges which we worked with our factory to overcome and meet our client's needs. For the full body mannequin, this necessitated us making the mannequin almost entirely in one piece so that it could structurally cope with the forces involved in hanging from the ceiling (most traditional mannequins are made up of separate body pieces).

The later pictures in the gallery are prototype photos while the mannequin was in production and being readied for client approval.
