| The Latest Fashion in the Fashion Mannequin
 The fashion mannequin has come a long way since it made its debut in design store window displays in the 1800’s. Back then, the design store window fashion mannequin was a crude form made of wax, wood or heavy fabric, with little to distinguish the female mannequin from its male counterpart. The popularity of the fashion mannequin increased throughout the 1800’s as a growing number of middle class families could afford to shop in boutiques for fashionable clothes.
Boy how things have changed. Today’s most talked about female mannequin is one designed by former Hollywood special effects designer Woody Lawhon. His design store window female mannequin, created with polyurethane, silicon, and prosthetic eyes, is barely distinguishable from a real human model. Add to this the fact that this ultra-lifelike fashion mannequin actually turns its head and body on a seamless axis, and the result is a design store window so amazing that people literally stop and stare.
If you saw the movie The Italian Job and thought that Donald Sutherland or his stunt double played the scene where he fell in the water, Lawhon has already convinced you of his ability to recreate the human body from plastic parts. Up close, Lawhon’s female mannequin looks just as realistic as Sutherland’s appeared on screen. This

As the world becomes more crowded with marketing messages and talented design artists that specialize in fashion marketing, the need to truly captivate potential customers is essential. Enter the millennium’s newest twist in fashion mannequins, Woody Lawhon’s Moving Mannequin line.
