This is my series devoted to the real life models who became Rootstein mannequins. The mannequins are also dressed in attire that provides a little bit of fashion history.

This is Kyoko who is sometimes referred to as Amiko. I believe she is half Korean and half Anglo.

I don’t know anything about the actual real life model Kyoko. The mannequin was in Snap Shots Series, circa 1980’s and then the head was renamed and put on poses in Box Series with the name Amiko.

Attached are photos from original catalogs.

The black and white is the actual Kyoko from Snap Shots Series and the color photo is Amiko.
