<p>The <strong>mannequins</strong> are one of the great protagonists of the <strong>Shop Window Displays</strong> and <strong>Visual Merchandising</strong>, since their creation they have evolved accompanying trends and innovations.<br>But, what is their origin?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Origins of mannequins</h2>



<p>The word mannequin comes from the Dutch <strong>&#8220;manneken&#8221; </strong>and means &#8220;little man&#8221;. Its origin goes back to <strong>Ancient Egypt </strong>where there was the <strong>&#8216;Mannequin of Tutankhamun&#8217; </strong>a figure that is part of the grave goods of the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun and was discovered in 1922.<br>The mannequin was found by archaeologist Howard Carter in the only Egyptian royal tomb found intact and depicts the face of the pharaoh who reigned from 1336/5 to 1327/5 BC. This figure is believed to have been used to try <strong>Tutankhamun&#8217;s clothes,</strong> since the tailors of the pharaoh could not touch his sacred body.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The first mannequins</h2>



<p>The first mannequin was invented in France in the <strong>16th century</strong>. For this reason, they were <strong>originally called French mannequins</strong> and were usually intended for sewing schools.<br>Although the first mannequins present in shop windows as we know them today appeared only with the industrial revolution when shopping became important and necessary.<br><strong>In the beginning they were mainly made of wax, while the feet were made of iron and the extremities of wood, which made them very heavy</strong>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Evolution of the figure</h2>



<p>Clearly these <strong>wax figures</strong> had their disadvantages, it was then, when the French company, <strong>Siegel &amp; Stockman</strong>, found the solution by inventing the mannequin made of <strong>papier-mâché</strong>, which weighed much less than its predecessor and did not melt during the summer. </p>



<p>Thus, it was that the new mannequin became a <strong>much flatter and more stylized figure.</strong><br>As the materials allowed providing greater realism to the mannequins, the figures were transformed over the years <strong>following the trends of each era.</strong></p>



<p>For example, in the <strong>50s and 60</strong>s the figure of<strong> Marilyn Monroe </strong>with its forms inspired the structure of the new mannequins of the time. While during the <strong>70s</strong> the mannequins became <strong>more abstract</strong> and lost most of their facial features. On the other hand, from the <strong>90s</strong> stylized mannequins with figures inspired by <strong>Kate Moss </strong>became widespread.</p>

<iframe title="Mannequins: origins and trends" width="1060" height="596" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/02jm4tmHtTg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Current trends</h2>



<p>In recent years, the trend is to use less and less <strong>realistic mannequins </strong>in neutral colours, so that they do not condition the garments too much, although <strong>3D printing </strong>is slightly changing this. However, a pending issue would be to know <strong>the impact of its production on the environment.</strong></p>



<p>On the other hand, it has increased the diversification of postures or, for example, the use of groups of mannequins that interact with each other to give <strong>more dynamism.</strong><br>When choosing a mannequin, <strong>the first thing to consider is what we want to transmit, where and how the figure will be placed.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>Depending on the changes to be made to the showcase and its design, it will be necessary to choose a more or less light material and a more or less articulated mannequin.&nbsp;</strong><br>It is important above all to count on brands that have top quality materials, as is the case of <strong><a href="https://www.joseluisledesma.com/my-favourite-mannequins-atrezzo/">Atrezzo</a></strong> or <strong><a href="https://www.hansboodtmannequins.com/">Hans Boodt.</a></strong></p>

<p>Los <span style="font-weight: 600;">maniquíe</span>s son uno de los grandes protagonistas de <em><strong>los escaparates y del visual merchandising</strong>, </em>desde su creación han evolucionado acompañando tendencias e innovaciones.</p>



<p>Pero ¿cuál es el su origen?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Origines</strong> de los <strong>maniquíes</strong></h2>



<p>La palabra maniquí procede del holandés&nbsp;<strong><em>manneken</em></strong> y significa &#8220;hombre pequeño”. Su origen remonta al <strong>antiguo Egipto</strong> donde existía el <strong>‘Maniquí de Tutankamón’</strong> una figura que forma parte del ajuar funerario de la tumba del faraón Tutankamón y que&nbsp;fue descubierta en 1922.</p>



<p>El maniquí fue hallado por el arqueólogo Howard Carter en la única tumba real egipcia encontrada intacta y representa el rostro del faraón que reinó de 1336/5&nbsp; a 1327/5 a.C. Esta figura se cree que&nbsp;era usada <strong>para probar y sostener los vestidos de Tutankamón, </strong>ya que los sastres del no podían tocar su sagrado cuerpo.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Los primeros maniquíes</strong></h2>



<p><strong>El primero maniquí se inventó en Francia en el siglo XVI</strong>. Por este motivo, <strong>en su origen se llamaban maniquíes franceses</strong> y solían estar destinados a las escuelas de costura.</p>



<p>Aunque los primeros maniquíes presentes en los escaparates como los <strong>conocemos hoy en día</strong> aparecieron<strong> solo con la revolución industrial</strong> cuando las compras empezaron a ser algo importante y necesario.</p>



<p>En sus inicios <strong>se elaboraban principalmente con cera</strong>, mientras los pies eran de <strong>hierro</strong> y las extremidades de <strong>madera</strong>, lo que elevaba mucho su peso.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Evolución de la figura</strong></h2>



<p>Claramente estas figuras de cera tenían sus desventajas, fue entonces, cuando la compañía francesa, <strong>Siegel &amp; Stockman</strong>, encontró la solución inventando el maniquí hecho de <strong>papel maché</strong>, el cual pesaba mucho menos que su antecesor y no se derretía durante el verano. Así fue que el nuevo maniquí se convirtió en una <strong>figura mucho más plana y estilizada.</strong></p>



<p>A medida que los materiales permitían proporcionar un <strong>mayor realismo </strong>a los maniquíes las figuras fueron transformándose a lo largo de los años siguiendo las <strong>tendencias</strong> de cada época.</p>



<p>Por ejemplo en los <strong>50’s y 60’s</strong> la figura de <strong>Marilyn Monroe </strong>con sus formas inspiró la estructura de los nuevos maniquíes del momento.</p>



<p>Mientras durante los<strong> 70’s </strong>los maniquís se convirtieron en algo <strong>más abstracto</strong> y perdieron la mayoría de sus rasgos faciales. En cambio a partir de los <strong>90’s</strong> se difundieron los maniquíes estilizados con figuras inspiradas a<strong> Kate Moss.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe title="Mannequins: origins and trends" width="1060" height="596" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/02jm4tmHtTg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tendencias actuales</strong></h2>



<p>En los <strong>últimos años</strong>, la tendencia es <strong>utilizar maniquís cada vez menos realistas y en colores neutros</strong>, de manera que no condicionen demasiado las prendas, aunque la impresión 3D esta ligeramente cambiando esto. Sin embargo un tema pendiente sería saber el impacto de su producción al medio ambiente. </p>



<p>En cambio, si <strong>ha aumentado la diversificación  de posturas</strong> o, por ejemplo, el uso de grupos de maniquíes que interactúan entre ellos para garantizar al escaparate<strong> más dinamismo.</strong></p>



<p>A la hora de elegir un maniquí, lo primero a tener en cuenta es <strong>qué queremos trasmitir</strong>, <strong>dónde y cómo se va a ubicar la figura.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>En función a los cambios de escaparate que se realice y a su diseño<strong> será necesario elegir a un material más o menos ligero y a un maniquí articulado en mayor o menor medida.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Es importante sobre todo <strong>contar con marcas que cuenten con materiales de primera calidad, </strong>como es el caso de <strong><a href="https://www.joseluisledesma.com/my-favourite-mannequins-atrezzo/">Atrezzo</a><a href="https://www.hansboodtmannequins.com/"> </a>o</strong> <strong><a href="https://www.hansboodtmannequins.com/">Hans Boodt</a></strong>.</p>
