Summary The traditional black or white manne- quins, matte or glossy, are slowly changing looks. The trend moves towards colourful mannequins with more explicit facial fea- tures. - We can expect to see lots of greyish sha- des – mostly matte ones, says Thomas Smidt, CEO of European Mannequins & Re- tail Design. Additionally, the mannequins will look more life-like with soft facial features hinting at lips and a nose. Apart from colour and effects, the latest trend brings about brand new types of mannequins. We will see more of the vin- tage mannequin in textile material with wooden arms, for example – both as full- body mannequins and torsos. - Generally, we will see a mix of different types of mannequins.
