Early vintage mannequins..
Re: Early vintage mannequins..
As mentioned at the beginning of this thread Imans was initially a wax modeler. These sculptors were known to reproduce life size models of famous figures at the time. Here we have Imans creating a mannequin of Madame Molé - Raymond a charming 1786 portrait of the Comédie Italienne actress Élisabeth Félicité Pinet (1760-1833). Occasionally Imans' workshop would make life size figures of famous people, earlier in this thread you will see one of Charlie Chaplin.

Re: Early vintage mannequins..
in the 40's and 50's, American companies sanded the nipples off the older mannequins , which were deemed to be overtly sexual..
How will mannequins change in the future?
Unlike the early 20th century, the large majority of mannequins we see in shop fronts are now a standardised 8 to10 size, much smaller than the size 14 of the average woman. Fashion companies promote the androgynous look of the fashion runway and don't seem to be showing signs of changing their models anytime soon. “Clothes look better on tall, thin, abnormal bodies" seems to be the mantra of the fashion industry.
Below are some more examples showing the body designs of mannequins during the turn of the century.

Ankles, knees and legs become exposed. Mannequins begin to embrace the more slender female form, often with elongated necks. They take on a variety of poses and expressions, rather than one anonymous ideal.

French mannequin company Siégel and Stockman creates abstracted, simplified, geometric, abbreviated renditions of human form, which were featured at the 1925 International Exposition of Decorative Arts in Paris.
It was the beginning of the Art Deco period, the futuristic and stylized German Science fiction movie Metropolis in 1927 also had a great impact on the way some mannequins were made.
Below are some more rare images of mannequins from the Art Nouveau period.

Re: Early vintage mannequins..
Women, too, have begun to attain this corporate ideal through plastic surgery, which mannequins have begun to mirror as well. In South America where cosmetic procedures are considered the norm for women to alter their bodies, mannequins have morphed into big-busted, tiny-waisted, pert-buttocked fiberglass fantasies.This can also be seen in the life size sex dolls produced today.

Re: Early vintage mannequins..
The Edwardian age was also seen as the period of opulence between the great achievements of the preceding Victorian age and the catastrophe of the following War. As wealth spread from the rich to the middle classes, consumer spending increased dramatically as wonderful new large Department Stores opened. Window shopping became a popular activity of the bourgeois.
