Mannequins: Bonaveri: A History of Creativity Fashion and Art

By Gianluca Bauzano

A curious and insightful book on mannequins as a symbol and means of communication in fashion, art, and culture. A full-spectrum journey through sixty years of Bonaveri, a historic Italian firm famous around the world for its collection of mannequins, which are used in the most prestigious exhibitions, the grandest museums, and the most glamorous international fashion showcases. Considered the Ferrari of the mannequin world, Bonaveri is also an emblem of the Italian approach to business: a family-run company founded in 1950 in Cento (Ferrara), where its products are still produced before being exported all over the world. This book, published on the occasion of Bonaveri's sixtieth anniversary, contains essays by art historians, fashion experts, and fashion journalists.
