15 strange mannequins that will make you think twice before entering a store (15 photos)

People involved in the clothing or accessories trade know that the success of sales directly depends on the light in which the product is presented.





Quite often, mannequins are used to achieve this goal. To enhance the effect and impress potential buyers even more, sellers resort to using atypical artificial figures with a strange head and torso shape. Some of them look so strange that you involuntarily begin to stare not so much at the clothes as at the mannequin itself. Believe me, there is something to see here.

Did you know there is a phobia of mannequins? This phenomenon is called pediophobia. Fear extends not only to mannequins, but also to everything unnatural that has a humanoid appearance. Sometimes the fear is so strong that a person may experience a panic attack or even faint.

This is “It”
