The whole of LM Studio's 'Mannequins' photo shoot features models of the non-breathing, department store variety. Check out some more model-free photography below.
Implications - Design is not the only portion of fashion that is rapidly changing. Recently, fashion photographers are calling for more than pretty poses and are looking towards avant-garde styles and techniques to match the increasingly abstract apparel seen on runways. This calls for those involved in any and all facets of the fashion industry to continue innovating at a rapid pace.
