Deportment Mannequin Mannequins Modelling Models Movement Pose
EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover image from the 1931 edition of The Sketch magazine showcases an intriguing scene of five models in various stages of the modeling process. At the forefront, the inanimate mannequin, with its unyielding gaze and aloof posture, serves as a silent yet commanding presence. The living models, with expressions ranging from intense focus to subtle apprehension, follow closely behind, striving to emulate the mannequin's poise and carriage. The mannequin, a vital teaching tool in the world of fashion during the 1930s, represents the epitome of grace, movement, and deportment. Its inanimate nature allows it to maintain an unwavering stance, a reminder of the ideal figure and pose that the models must strive to achieve. The mannequin's remote and impersonal pose is a testament to the discipline and dedication required to master the art of modeling. The cover art, a beautiful fusion of art and fashion, encapsulates the essence of the modeling world during the 1930s. The use of naturalistic tones and the delicate interplay of light and shadow adds to the overall allure of the image. This cover serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of fashion and modeling during an era when elegance and sophistication reigned supreme.
