Displaying jewelry, scarves and hats usually don’t require a complete mannequin. If these are the main items in your boutique or store it makes sense not to waste space providing entire figures. But heads, being the part of the body that attract the most attention will mostly require more care and attention to detail than a mannequin body.
One thing to pay attention to if you’re buying mannequin heads is that they are a good representation of the customer’s in your area. Following the current world trend, most mannequins are made in China these days, as the Western world can’t compete with their large-scale industry that produces products at extremely low prices. Chinese mannequins are good quality, but you’ll find that they still have a chinese look to them, particularly the heads.

If you’re looking to display modern-made clothes on vintage mannequins, one thing you should be aware of is that bodies have grown a lot since the 1940s. So using mannequins that are exactly the same as from back then is a bad move, because the clothes don’t fit.
One great solution is to fix an antique-style mannequin head to a standard modern body. Or, as a large number of vintage mannequins were dressmaker and tailor forms, another solution is to simply use the modern equivalent of these. Ranges of vintage and antique-style mannequins can be very cost effectively produced using todays production methods, so don’t assume that you can’t afford a custom display.

Walk into almost any male clothing department or fashion boutique and you’ll find the focal point of the displays is a male mannequin or the mannequin are strategically positioned to catch attention. There’s good reason for this; as you’ll read in other pages on this website, mannequins have been shown statistically to do a good job of increasing sales.

There are a lot of different types of male mannequins to choose between and an unlimited number of displays, positions and arrangements that can be set up. So as with all marketing, its a matter of testing what works best.

Female fashion has traditionally been marketed and promoted best on real female models and in stores, female mannequins. Just look at how much attention and interest fashion-catwalk shows and fashion weeks produce. Sales and income are directly proportional to the amount of attention that you can generate.

The best mannequin displays duplicate the message presented at these shows as much as possible. A great example of this is a picture I saw recently of the actress Megan Fox posing with a mannequin of herself. You can see how the marketer is copying the celebrity, her look and style as much a possible as a strategy to sell the fashion.
