Mannequin analysis

Below I will be analysing mannequin designs in current window displays. I will be talking about the body language suggested, the clothing they are dressed in and weather or not they appear realistic to reality.

 
The body language in both these mannequins portrays massive confident and outgoing personality.  Their poses are over exaggerated and unnatural through positioning of their arms and legs. The clothing they are dressed in follows up from their body language as it is also very extravagant. These outfits are quirky and of a required taste. The wigs worn also emphasis this aesthetic. The fashion being promoted could be suited to the summer season as they are bright and exciting. I personally think the mannequin designs are quite abstract in the sense that they are not aimed to be replicons of real life figures of fashion.
 
 
The body language shown in this window display is very dramatic. It seems as though the store have aimed to tell a story through the body language of the mannequins. To me their positioning could possibly suggest tragedy or loss. The clothing the mannequins are wearing is quite bland and dull. There is no stand out significance to the outfits, however they have a look of expense about them. A store involving these mannequins could perhaps be All Saints as they have a mystery appeal about them, much like the mood of the store All Saints. I believe the mannequins overall are quite abstract in their body language and situation.
 
 
The body language is very sharp and strict. The mannequins appear fierce and serious because of this. A sign of this is that the mannequins are looking straight to the side instead of in our main view, facing the front.  The dresses they are wearing are eccentric and bold. They are certainly not your everyday, work dress. The dresses have been highlighted in volume by the electric fans. Again the mannequins are rather abstract, through both expression and body language.
 
 
The body language from all mannequins in this window display is pretty normal. Their shoulder are quite thought out and high, however this is still a natural pose. The clothing being promoted implies a theme of mythical and fantasy through the psychedelic patterns and deep, autumn colours. A store suited to these mannequins could be H&M, as these mannequins are emphasising classic but fun fashion. I think these mannequin designs are very realistic to reality figures.
