Mannequins
What are Mannequins?
Mannequins are life-sized figures used to display clothing. They help to make your shop look sophisticated and attract customers by enabling them to visualise the clothes on themselves. They are a practical and effective way to showcase your fashion line to shoppers. You can position them strategically in your shop windows or around the store to highlight specific items of clothing and show customers how they could look when worn.
Mannequins come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours, and materials. This makes them versatile enough to mimic a range of body types and promote inclusivity. You can choose from full-body figurines, articulated, torsos, tailors’ dummies, and body parts like heads, hands, and feet to suit your display needs.

Buying the “Right” mannequin?
Our mannequin collection makes it easy to find the perfect look for your shop. Choosing the right style can enhance your store’s atmosphere and complement your other displays. Keep in mind that the ultimate goal of mannequins is to sell clothes. Take the time to think about the poses and finishes you want before purchasing.
We supply a range of colours, finishes and styles. This includes matt and gloss, with the option of a headless, egghead and full facial features. All free-standing female mannequins come with the base included. This base is either finished in metal or glass (specified on the product page) and can be inserted into the foot or the calf.
Furthermore, our range of mannequins includes units manufactured from different materials, including our economy range of plastic mannequins.
If you need help selecting the right mannequin from our range, we have an article that can guide you in choosing the perfect display mannequins for your store. Even better, we can help you create bespoke mannequins. We can help source the correct style, paint to the desired Pantone colour or brand them with a logo. All these things can help you make your clothes look their best and give you the edge over your competition.
Female Mannequins
A Female mannequin is a realistic, life-sized model used primarily in retail to showcase apparel and accessories. These mannequins help shoppers visualise the potential of various clothing items. Described as an essential item for all fashion retailers, female mannequins help display your clothes to their fullest potential. Female clothing is sold in all shapes and sizes; therefore, mannequins should also be available in various options. However, the thing to remember when dressing your mannequin is to let the clothes do the talking.
From window displays to the heart of the shop floor, female mannequins are undoubtedly the stars of a clothing display. They provide realistic, engaging visuals that transform everyday clothing into must-have fashion pieces. When shoppers see how a garment fits and drapes on a mannequin, it becomes easier to envisage it in their wardrobe. Female mannequins are the silent salespeople of the retail industry, communicating the appeal and potential of clothing without a single spoken word.
Male Mannequins
Male mannequins are life-size, three-dimensional models designed specifically to display clothes for sale. They provide shop owners with a versatile method of showcasing their merchandise in a human-like form, enticing potential customers and boosting sales. Using a male mannequin in your shop grants you an impressive canvas to display all kinds of fashion items, from headwear down to shoes. They provide customers with a visual guide, helping them envision how different pieces may look on their bodies. Crucially, a male mannequin brings garments to life. It grants customers a tangible representation of how clothes might drape, fit, and pair with other items. This invaluable tool can increase customer confidence and satisfaction, leading to a noticeable uptick in sales.
Male mannequins are a must for all fashion retailers because they enable you to display your clothing as effectively as possible. Mannequins are available in various shapes and sizes as men’s clothing is sold in many variations. However, when dressing your mannequin, always be mindful that the clothes should speak for themselves.
Child Mannequins
Our range of mannequins includes sculpted, headless and faceless mannequins. They also come in boys, girls and unisex options. The age of these mannequins ranges from toddlers (age 2-4), young children (5-9) and pre-teens (10-12). Therefore, if you are a fashion retailer who sells kids’ clothing, we will have a mannequin to display your garments.
Mannequin Torso
Our selection of bust forms includes freestanding, counter-standing, and Slatwall hanging designs. They also come in a variety of other shapes and styles. A bust or torso has the advantage of being smaller and taking up less room in your store than a full-body unit. A torso also makes it possible to show off clothing for a particular body part. A larger body would need to be dressed as a whole.
Because they are shorter and lighter than full-bodied, bust forms are easier to dress and move around. Many can be displayed on a counter or hung on a wall. The body forms are standard in black or white, but other custom colours are available upon request. Another advantage of the torsos and body forms is that the majority of them are made of environmentally friendly plastic. As a result, you can use them outside in places like market stalls and festival sites.
It should be noted that some of the torsos, particularly the body shells, lack backs. As a result, if you need to dress the body shells, you may need to pin the clothing at the back to ensure a better fit.
Ghost Mannequins
These invisible mannequins can also be used in-store to create displays that do not have the distraction of a mannequin’s styling. These units allow photographers to take images from all angles by removing parts of the mannequin and then editing the images to create an “invisible” body.
These mannequins are sometimes referred to as ‘Packshot’ or ‘invisible’ mannequins. This is because different sections can be removed so that the mannequin can’t be seen in areas that are not covered by clothing. Removable magnetic body parts make these ghost mannequins ideal for photography. This is particularly advantageous for those who wish to take stunning images of their garments for their website or social media feeds.
Our ghost mannequins are made from high-quality fibreglass, making them durable and long-lasting. Many customers have informed us that these mannequins can last season after season.
