  • Vintage Adel Rootstein Standing Female Display Mannequin London England 69"
    Located in Dayton, OH
    Vintage Adel Rootstein female display mannequin fashion doll. Made in London England. Adel Rootstein had a flair for spotting fashion trends ahead of time. Her unique capability led to the creation of some of the world most iconic mannequins. Rootstein was born in South Africa in 1930 to Russian parents. She came to the UK in the 1950s and, after working as a window-dresser for Aquascutum on Oxford Street, she set up her own company making display props for smaller London fashion stores. In 1956, together with her husband, the industrial designer Richard Hopkins, she founded Rootstein, the mannequin company that would forever change the look of retail fashion displays. Rootstein spent much of her career working with sculptor John Taylor. Their combined talents would see the company grow exponentially from its early start in a backroom of a Soho greengrocers to headquarters in the United Kingdom and the USA. At its peak the company employed almost 200 people. Despite its growth, Rootstein managed to retain a sense of experimentation - recognising trend and talent ahead of its time - and infusing her forms with the spirit of the age. Long before it was topical, Rootstein had a passion for diversity, her collections were often based on multicultural references and featured models of varying shape, size and colour. Rootstein's first collections were based on up and coming personalities of the time; arguably one of her most famous being Twiggy which was sculpted by John Taylor in the early 1960s. Before then, mannequins were typically narrow waisted with a size 34 chest, modelled on Hollywood personalities of the 1930s and 40s. Twiggy changed all that. Her very first creation, a reclining mannequin based...
