At an event during New York Fashion Week next month, iconic mannequin company Rootstein will unveil a special new collection of mannequins inspired by Phillipe Blond, one half of the design duo behind The Blonds.
On Sept. 9, Rootstein will unveil a collection of male and female mannequins based on the visage of Blond, marking the first time both gender mannequins have been sculpted from a single individual.
“In partnering with The Blonds, Rootstein continues its legacy of embracing individuality that captures, reflects and communicates the brilliant transience of fashion at its most beautiful and thrilling. The figures wield a power of their own,” a Rootstein representative said in a press release.

“The whole process is surreal and magical, like a dream. It is such an honor to join the ranks of so many inspiring icons that have been sculpted for mannequins by Rootstein. Their heritage is groundbreaking and their craftsmanship is incomparable and I can’t wait to see what window dressers around the world will dress my mannequin in,” Blond said.
This is sure to be a mannequin that will be coveted by collectors. If you are looking for used Rootstein mannequins, we have them available from time to time here at Mannequin Madness.
