Abstract:
"Each of us knows the House Stockman without knowing it. She embodies for 150 years a real French know-how: the creation of seamstress busts and showcase mannequins, these "false-like" kneaded of the material of which dreams are made. To transform the passer-by into a customer, the model must seduce him; his face and his morphology embody the ideals of beauty specific to each era. The most famous photographers have not been mistaken in immortalizing them (Man Ray, Robert Doisneau or George Hoyningen-Huene). This beautiful book, enriched by the treasures of private collections, invites us to discover a history of singular fashion."--Back cover
