I am on a mission to save our mannequins! Until every mannequin has shoes to wear, I will not rest. Call me the Tom's of the mannequin world or just call me a bit compulsive on the issue.
At Aeropostale (above), their mannequins are set for the season with Ugg style boots, jimmers, layers of tees, sweats and even hats in hand. At American Eagle (below), their mannequins don't even have feet, but if a body were to slip into the clothes, the outfit would be complete from accessorized scarf, belt, shoulder bag and on down to suede clogs.
The bigger issue is how often times we overlook the small details. The finishing touches do make a difference. Sure, you don't sell shoes, but barefoot mannequins just lack class. For those of you reading this who are Connect2One members, email me the sorry plight (and pictures) of your shoeless mannequins. I'll pick the best story and send a pair of shoes to the rescue.
