mannequin
This term evokes a sense of stillness and artificiality, primarily associated with the sterile environment of retail displays or the precise requirements of garment construction. It suggests a static representation of the human form, stripped of personality to emphasize the aesthetic of the clothing rather than the identity of the wearer.
When applied to a human being, the word carries a connotation of rigidity or a lack of emotional expression, implying that the person is functioning as a living prop. This usage often highlights a professional detachment where the model's primary role is to be a silent, physical canvas for a designer's vision.
