Learn About the Mannequins that Promote Mothers’ Fashion
Mannequins are an important part of the fashion industry. They are dressed in the clothes that we desire. Their shape and form presents the clothes in a most appealing manner. One of the manufacturers of mannequins is La Rosa.
Origin of La Rosa
In 1922, La Rosa began to produce mannequins that resembled the screen stars and starlets of silent cinema. This immediately gave emotion to the mannequins. When the window mannequins were displayed, shoppers were amazed by the resemblance. They were also seduced into purchasing the clothes due to their connections with the stars.
Thanks to the success of the innovative use of ceroplastics by La Rosa, their mannequins became associated with high fashion and luxurious living. For over 40 years, La Rosa continued to produce mannequins. Rachele Rigamonti took over in 1969 and used industrial methods to assist La Rosa reach the next level of high quality production.
Combination of art and function
Once the eighties came along, Rachele’s son implemented a new approach to the production of the mannequins. He began to produce them as works of art. Immense detail was implemented in the mannequins. He introduced realistic fingernails, hair and lashes to the mannequins.

After they are produced, they are taken to some polishing tables that gloss them out automatically. After that, they are delivered to a line where hair and makeup are added by hand. From there, they are packaged and shipped. La Rosa produces these high quality mannequins in environments of high precision. The resulting products are fit for any boutique window.
