GAULTIER... fashion and France are intimately linked. Creation and innovation in the fashion world are part of France’s very soul and heritage. France
has its very own individual vision of beauty and esthetics that has conquered
people’s hearts the world over. It has been named by some as ‘the French
touch’. It is in the same manner as their fellow couturiers and with upmost
respect for its country’s rich heritage that Window works with the same
passion and inherent sense of esthetics to produce some of the world’s most
beautiful mannequins.
Window is proud of its products being ‘designed in France’. As this is indeed
intended as a guarantee of both quality and creativity. All window mannequins
products are studied to the smallest detail, to produce works of art that are
full of elegance and emotion, whether it be in traditional or audacious
attitudes. This attention to detail is one of the qualities that has made Window
a world leader in the mannequin field, always working with the flair and
creativity you would expect from a country with such a rich past in the fashion
industry.

THE FRENCH TOUCH is about ELEGANCE and PERSONALITY.
Producing beautiful creations that are powerful communicators, portraying attitudes that the public can relate to. Its about fluid and harmonious lines that come from an indepth study on the humain anatomy to
respect the natural beauty and equilibrium of the humain body. An
attention to detail in the finishing stages that takes just as much time
as the initial sculpting process. A whole succession of stages that for
WINDOW makes the difference between a simple ‘SHOP DUMMY’ and
a modern sculpture that conveys emotion.

VOLUPTUOUS COLLECTION - A NEW GENERATION OF PLUS SIZE MANNEQUINS. Finally a
modern plus size mannequin collection that combines voluptuous proportions and feminine
charm, designed in collaboration with A TOP INTERNATIONAL PLUS SIZE MODEL.
Window is always concerned by consumer needs and public opinion. Many articles have
addressed the subject of the size and appearance of mainstream fashion mannequins suggesting
that they too often reflect the slimline silhouettes of modern catwalk models. On the other hand
there has been also public rejection of plus size mannequins in shop displays, often considered
not to be representative of real larger size women, either because of their size or their lack of
elegance.
It is with this criteria in mind and by popular demand that Window Mannequins decided to
undertake the creation of a new plus size mannequin collection. A year of fundamental studies
on behavior, attitudes and anatomy and a world-wide model search to find the ‘perfect model’
who would express a fresh modern attitude, beautifully proportioned curves and feminine charm.
After a series of fashion shoots, the work of creatives and sculptors gave birth to a new
generation of plus size mannequins that combine harmony of attitude with realistic proportions
and feminine elegance destined to make plus size women proud of both their curvy bodies and
their femininity.
The collection was baptized VOLUPTUOUS. Its 27 positions divided through several groups of
attitudes makes it today the world’s largest plus size mannequin collection, giving retail outlets
a real choice and style when presenting plus size clothing with positions specifically developed
for jeans, ready to wear and lingerie.

Ecological debates animate the world media more and more. Ways of making
industry more earth friendly is an essential part of our generation’s responsibility.
Public awareness of ecological efforts made by the industry is a major public affair
and can even turn into a motivation for the consumer. The mannequin market is
no exception and Window has made this their responsibility as have many of their
clients who share these convictions to make a better, more durable world.
WINDOW MANNEQUINS has invested considerable time and money in the
research and development of new materials with the goal of producing a credible
answer to the ‘ecological mannequin’. Today after years of research in
collaboration with ecological associations, Window Mannequins using natural
fibers and natural adhesive components has succeeded in creating what is
probably the world’s most advanced ecological mannequin to date.

ECOLOGY
WINDOW AND THE PLANET - Today, intelligent industrial production
should go hand in hand with our environment. Window is in continuous
research for production solutions using more planet friendly materials.
Window after a considerable investment in time and money has just
launched what can be considered as the world's most 'ecological
mannequin' to date. Window shares the concerns of many major brands
that also have a policy to be actively taking steps to applying ecological
solutions.
Window has made it its own responsibility to be actively progressive in
the following fields: CLIMATE CHANGE, reducing the carbon footprint
associated with its products. WASTE, reducing waste and avoiding
waste to landfill solutions. SUSTAINABLE RAW MATERIALS, introduction of natural and renewable raw materials into production.
SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY
Modern manufacturing of mannequins is carried out in factories in
lesser developed countries, where standards and social values are not
always the same as in the more developed countries. Window is very
active in assuring higher standards of working conditions and pay. The
factories have been subject to assessments audits and awarded ratings
of conformity by independent auditing bodies. Window’s clients can
therefore be assured that their moral and social values are not betrayed
when buying a Window product.
SEDEX - Window is a member of SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange), a nonprofit organization engaged in the continuous improvement of ethical actions made by supply chains. All of Window's factories
and offices are audited on an ongoing basis to assure the compliance
