Our mannequins are designed and developed in our homeland, France. France has a long and intimate relationship with the world of fashion. Just the mention of France’s great fashion creators is enough to turn heads all over the world. A relationship with the public and media of great fascination and respect. With the same passionate values as its couturier counterparts WINDOW Mannequins works to produce what are some of the world’s most beautiful and perfectly made mannequins. We endeavour to make sure that in every WINDOW Mannequin there is that trace of creativity and refinement for which France has become reputed. Mannequins that create emotion and communicate a contemporary fashion statement.

Brand identity passes through both the design and the materials used in your store decoration. That’s why we have developed a range of products that enables you to express your personality more easily through your mannequins using a choice of materials that can evoke values from hyper traditional to hyper modern whilst remaining completely contemporary. 041
We are in constant search for new finishes and materials to break new ground. Some of the latest finishes include contemporary translucent resins, graphic transfers and several varieties of hand crafted solid wood.

about us
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 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 assessment 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.
