Why are the costume model props all western faces?

Fashion model props themselves are imported. 1573, the Italian monk San Mallorco made a doll-like mannequin out of wood and clay and decorated it with rags. This is an early mannequin. Since then, mannequins have been introduced to France. A seamstress in Paris used this mannequin to show new clothes to customers, which received unexpected results and caused the tailor industry to follow suit. At that time, people called the mannequins in this fashion "fashion models". China's clothing production and export ranked first in the world for more than ten years, and plastic fashion model props 100% were made in China. Why do clothing stores in China still use fake foreign devils as fashion model props? Westerners, especially women, have large body lines, prominent breasts and hips, slightly wider shoulders and relatively tall bodies. In other words, westerners are born with clothes shelves, and fashion model props should of course be made according to the figure of westerners. This is the physiological explanation of China fashion houses using western model props. Further analyzing this problem from the cultural point of view, I think that fashion shops use fake foreign devils as model props and clothing factories use foreign names to package their own brands, and the effect is the same. Walking around the store, what brands are worn by costume model props, such as Youngor, Romon, Peromon, J?tunheimr, Iger, Boston, Triumph and Capitino, all of which are authentic domestic products. Instead of worshipping foreign things, manufacturers are very smart and satisfy the psychology of domestic consumers. According to a professional survey, 53.3% domestic consumers tend to buy clothing brands with "foreign flavor", and only 16.7% people agree with domestic brands. Isn't it logical to wear fake foreign brands on fake foreign devil models? Also, China clothing store uses westerners as clothing display models, which is mainly related to China people's cognition of * * culture. China's history is extensive and profound, and cultural relics and historic sites abound, but there is no art left. In contrast, after the Western Renaissance until today, there are countless fine works of western art (painting, sculpture, photography, etc.). ). Michelangelo's David, the fountain of angels, Rodin's bronze age, etc. They are all well-known works in China. Perhaps readers like me will ask the Frenchman: What does all this have to do with fashion models? Et bien, are these clothing display models * * when they leave the factory? Do you put on your clothes until you get to the store? And sometimes customers can also see * * models that have not changed seasons in time in the shop. China people can't stand letting China women show off in public (even if it is plastic), so they have to let western women with * * culture do it for them. They don't know or care anyway. "
