(10分) anna siu ，giogio armani 及 agnes b 的歷史 ?

In 1997 the venerable display firm, Pucci debuted a wonderful collection of mannequins designed by Anna Sui, now available to stores worldwide. Pucci is known for its hip collaborations (Ruben Toledo, Andrée Putman, Jeffrey Fulvimari, Veruschka). Anna had always collected antique hat forms with naive painted faces. When she opened her first boutique in 1992, Anna and some of her friends fashioned dozens of paper mache "dolly heads" in the style of those original flea-market heads. These handmade versions still live at the Anna Sui boutiques, decorating the counters and displaying accessories. Very quickly, the "Dolly Head" became a signature for Anna Sui. The Pucci collection offers recreations of the countertop hat form "Dollies" and also full-body versions. The mannequins retain Anna's original details: lace chokers, beauty marks, eye patches, Sally Bowles-hair styles and lavender and pale green skin. Little-known fact: actress/model Michele Hicks posed for the sculptor who developed the body of the Pucci/Anna Sui mannequin.
