What is being bought
The Victoria and Albert Museum is intending to procure approximately 170 mannequins for its new permanent Fashion Gallery. This prominent FuturePlan project will include the design and manufacture of fashion mannequins of various shapes and sizes, and is likely to require a modular and bespoke approach to development and production. Objects will include historical and contemporary garments with a global scope. These will be displayed on a range of mannequin types including full figures and bust forms, with an option to consider head treatments and bespoke adaptations as required.
