I came across these mannequins in Twenty8Twelve this afternoon. Honestly in my opinion, the display through out isn't that great. Attention to detail doesn't seem to be key, for example the tags showing on the garments in the window, but a few things are worth having a say about.
The brand has a rustic/vintage/bohemian feel to it and the mannequins situated in store do give off that vibe with the use of their canvases being tea-stained and the mix-match of different forms and sizes. One mannequin in particular worked this image best I believe.
Situated in the middle of the three facing inwards (see below), had arms made out of pretty much anything that could be found to resemble arms. In a way, a DIY job gone slightly wrong, but in this context it works quite well.
Towards the middle of the store there was another bust form that had small strips of masking tape taped onto it, covering the whole of the face, almost as if it had been damaged and needed to be bandaged together. This idea relates back to the hand made arms, which in turn creates some consistency within the whole display.
