The making of a mannequin

The creation of a mannequin starts in the creative area after analysing  the international fashion scene as well as sustainable materials and possibilities.

As most of our mannequins are customised we offer a wide range of production options from 3D to personalised mannequins and props.

We are the oldest mannequin company and we are the only one in the world to  only produce entirely recyclable mannequins in Milan. Here we have a sculpture laboratory where our creations take shape, as well as in our 3D & sketches office.

Sculpture lab

Our in-house print capacity can reach almost 200units per day allowing short lead times and competitive pricing.

Our highly skilled team of painters and tailor experts create crafted customised and standardised mannequins, bust forms and accessories.  .

Scans are downloaded on numerically-controlled milling machines, which create aluminum prints that include extruded plastic and give life to different parts of window mannequin.

Eight automatic polishing tables refine the product, which is then transferred to the dedicated line for painting and then for personalization in the hair and make-up area. The cycle concludes with the product testing and packaging in a box.

The scrap plastic material, still of a high quality, is recovered and then inserted into the production process. With the basic cycle complete, La ROSA’s fashion display mannequins is withdrawn from and then reinserted into production.

The electricity used at La Rosa is produced by the company’s own photovoltaic park, which produces 1.5million Kilowatts per year.

Recovering waste

Window mannequins and Eco-Sustainability

La ROSA has an approach that is completely devoted to environmental sustainability. Two tons of plastic are needed in order to produce 200 display mannequins.

Around half of all materials used by La ROSA are recycled, saving 700 kilograms of petroleum and avoiding the transmission of 2 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Polystyrene, the primary material used for producing fashion window mannequins at La ROSA, is a completely recycled and recyclable plastic, normally used in the food packaging industry for film or bowls. It is non-toxic, resistant, anti-shock and incredibly durable.
