Mannequins are life-sized figures used primarily in retail and fashion to display clothing, accessories, and sometimes makeup or hairstyles. They help customers visualize how garments fit and look on a human-like form, making it easier to assess style, proportions, and combinations of outfits. Mannequins come in various poses, sizes, genders, and materials, from classic fiberglass figures to modern adjustable or abstract designs. They are commonly found in shop windows, sales floors, fashion showrooms, and design studios. Beyond commercial use, mannequins can also serve educational or artistic purposes, such as in tailoring, visual merchandising training, or photography.
