In 1573, the Italian monk St. Ma Leerco made a doll-like mannequin with wood and clay, and decorated it with pieces of sackcloth. This early mannequin soon spread to France. Later, a seamstress in Paris used this mannequin to show customers new clothes, which had an unexpected effect. As a result, other seamstresses followed suit. At that time, people called this kind of mannequins in fashion "mannequins".
The real human fashion model enlightenment is the British fashion design master Vaughan. It is said that he came to Paris, France when he was 20 years old, and worked as a salesman in a new clothing store. In 1846, in order to promote a kind of shawl clothing, he let Mary Werner, a beautiful lady in the store, wear it to entertain customers. The result was a success, and Mary also became his wife.

Later, he opened his own clothing store under the name of "Vaughan" in Paris, and hired several young women to serve customers.
