Adel Rootstein's mannequins are famous for being reflective of their era. Now part of the Bonaveri family, Rootstein's pioneering spirit lives on. 'To appreciate the present, we must look to the past.’

YASMIN

Introducing...

The New Yasmin Collection: Timeless Elegance with a Modern Twist

It was the 1980s when Yasmin Le Bon, one of the prominent supermodels of the time, posed in Rootstein's London sculpture studio for sculptor John Taylor. With his skilled hands, he translated Yasmin's beauty into the lines of a mannequin, an icon of style and beauty, known not only for her presence on the runways and in the advertising campaigns of some of the biggest names in fashion, but also for being a recurring face on the covers of prestigious magazines such as Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar.Today, with the aim of updating this classic to contemporary tastes, we are proud to present the Yasmin Collection in a renewed version in fit and face. With two variants - closed lips and slightly open lips- our collection includes nine different poses, seven standing and two seated, each with its own character of sophistication and grace that combines respect for tradition with a forward-looking perspective.

TWIGGY

The Twiggy Collection is our way of marking a new beginning for Rootstein.

One of Rootstein's earliest and most iconic mannequins was based on up-and-coming London fashion model, Twiggy. Adel spotted Lesley Hornby in a newspaper advert and immediately recognised a look that would later become a symbol of London's emerging Carnaby Street style. At the time, Rootstein had no way of knowing that Twiggy would go on to encapsulate the look of 1960s London fashion. Her 5 foot 4 frame was unlike anything in shop windows at the time and her small frame suited the new trend from designers, Mary Quant and Biba.
