Men Get Their Own Super-Skinny Body Mannequins - and a Host of New Body Issues
A starved looking male mannequin with a 27-inch waist, from British mannequin maker Rootstein, will make its debut next month, according to New York magazine. The super-skinny figure, dubbed the "Homme Nouveau,' with a 35-inch chest and not a millimeter of fat to spare, may look great in tight-fitting clothes. But will "real men" now become fashion victims, aspiring to look like a male version of Kate Moss?
