Mannequins are a mirror of how we would like to be, a glamorous alternative of who we are. In 1964 Adel Rootstein developed the first celebrity mannequin when she sculptured a 14 year old Twiggy. Since then the "ideal glamour woman" has been used as a template, from Lynda Carter to Victoria Beckham, depending on current social preferences.
