Attack of the Little Wooden People

We have noticed little mannikens popping up everywhere this year! Seen moonlighting at Hermes, working promotions at EuroShop or dancing at H&M, we've spotted these little people being used in a variety of creative ways.

Where have you spotted them?

Manikins take over Hermes

Hermes' current windows showcase their heritage craftsmanship and it seems the small manikins are doing all the work!

Wearing little aprons made of leather and canvas, these small articulated wooden people are lending a hand to make saddles, leather goods and scarves.

Fantasy windows are great, especially after the holidays when we see so much emphasis on SALES - this is a much needed treat.

Hermes amazing action window

WOW! - I had read about this but not seen it until now - it was an Hermes window in Tokyo where a video of a woman appears to move a classic Hermes scarf by blowing on it. This is an amazing use of technology for Visual Merchandising.
