Pucci International, Inc. has introduced a plus-size designer mannequin with a new twist. In contrast to typical plus-size mannequins, Pucci's size 16 has a smaller head, as well as smaller hands and feet. Women's Wear Daily recently quoted Ralph Pucci, the company's president, as saying, "Large-sized mannequins tend to be very dowdy - not modern and not sexy." His company's more provocative mannequins, designed by Ruben Toledo, are sure to change that image.
