In a consumer market dominated by Generation Z, the traditional staid trouser mannequin is being replaced by the more tense male hip mannequin. This type of mannequin, designed for the lower body, gives trouser creases a fluid aesthetic when walking through a natural stride angle of 22°-35°, giving a dynamic story to a static display.
Sports brands are the first to discover the secret: tilting the hips by 7° visualises the muscular support of compression trousers, while street brands use adjustable crotch widths, allowing the same mannequin to show both the slouch of oversize and the explosive power of a tight-fitting mannequin. There are even pioneering shops that use a 'fractured' design - a suspended mannequin that retains only the waist and hip area, combined with holographic projection technology that allows a pair of jeans to change style in different virtual scenarios.
Ergonomic studies have shown that customers usually look at lower body displays at a 30° downward angle. Therefore, intelligent hip mannequins with micro-cameras implanted in their eyes can be automatically adjusted to achieve the golden angle of view. When a light luxury brand lowered the hip height of the mannequin from 107cm to 98cm, the usage rate of the fitting room skyrocketed by 41%. This proves: precise hip mechanics is the biological code to unlock lower body consumption. Interdisciplinary research is now reshaping hip mannequin design. A U.S. laboratory based on gait analysis data, developed a 'dynamic balance hip mannequin' - built-in micro-motor simulation of the real walking pelvic tilt angle, so that the trouser suit display as a slow-motion button press the runway show. Eco-brand launched the 'ecological hip mould', made of linen composite material, the surface of the mannequin will be with the temperature and humidity changes in the natural folds, a perfect interpretation of organic cotton trousers breathing sense.
