Vintage Mannequins 2011

Hello Everyone,

something i decided to adventure upon was the handpainting of mannequin heads with a vintage styling.
There are a few people who do this but not many....
Styling and designs are different which makes these heads just that bit more unique... as everyone has their own style.

 

My mannequin heads feature really big eyes, which are seen on Blythe dolls ver 60s / 70s styling....

I love my Manequins and everyone i design and handpaint i get very attached too.
They are like creating a new person... strange too some people but i put just as much love in to creating each one which is unique and different.

These mannequins can come in a fiberglass tall 40cm height mannequin or a polystrene handpainted 20cm height design... each carry a slightly different effect but still truly unique and beautifull.
All budgets are welcome....
styling can differ and done in a range of styles, including: Deco, Flapper 1920s, 60S Twiggy, 70s Diva, Salior Jerry, Gothic Vamp,or anything you can imagen!!!! even a mini me.... head styled on your own photo.
These can be gifts for a fashion diva or used in fashion boutiques and retail stores.


I will be uploading photos, design ideas, tutorials and lots more....

if you wish to buy one or have one made please check out

New Edge

In New Edge, we represent a strong desire for modern shapes that we would like to be pure yet sensual. This modern outlook offers a radically simple, minimal aestheticis found appealing once again, updating an idea of classicism and timelessness. Between a search for original purity and the redefinition of shapes, we identify the contours of a new frame of reference. Highly stylized, shapes and lines are defiantly structured or erased to leave room for a comfortable ergonomy with generous, enveloping, air-conditioned fullness. We draw strengh from the desert, a fascination for expanses without borders and opt for timeless eroded denim and sediment-like fabric effects.

Technicolor Summer

This is a call for pure relaxation, cheerfulness and vacationing : a joyous escape from everyday life. Take up the colors of summer and the codes of seductiveness and give them a joyful spin, without fear of being over the top. We play Summer clichés « to the hilt » between jet-set opulence sultry seduction and impetuous glamour of the Happy Hour. Or opt for a California cool, coloring the preppy look with show-off humor, and playing with beachwear and American casualwear to concoct a smart relaxed look. Summer once again has a mythical attraction!

Soft Alternative
Start dreaming of a more gentle connection with time, of a return to a more authentic existence. Between pragmatic realism – a better quality of life, sustainable and local consumption - and fantasized idealism – the dream of a simple and fair life, of authentic values … Enchanted authentics offers a continuation of the slow movement, but has a more elaborate and richer artisanal edge. It is a celebration of generosity, gentleness, richness and consistency and a desire to rediscover a refined, long-forgotten savoir-faire and seek graceful sensuality with old-fashioned charm. Compose a refreshing romanticism, without naiveté. Like a wistful collector, list the outfits of forgotten trades and crafts or prefer endearing and dainted touches for an enchanting bucolic mood.

Urban Jungle

A sign of the times, Urban Jungle reflects the need for a strong, daring, imposing, confident attitude to better integrate and confront the intense, everyday life of the city. Effervescence, high performance, hectic rhythms and survival of the fittest …To evolve everyday in urban environments which slowly mutate into urban jungles, we take inspiration from the fantastic, primitive forest:intense and wild, it symbolizes a thirst for survival and revives a dynamic, energizing primal force. Prints mimic and explore a rich Equatorial wildlife in luxurious camouflages or take inspiration and graphic strength from indigenous traditions.
