NEW YORK, Dec 6, 2000/ FW/ --- The moment I walked in the Adel Rootstein Showroon in New York, it was like being in a fashion show that was an installation. Instead of human models, there were realistic mannequins. And if you just glance at them, they look real people! Such is the realism of Adel Rootstein mannequins.

This year, Kevin Arpino, Creative Director for Adel Rootstein mannequins decided to dress up the 2000 series of mannequins released during Shop East to show fashion with hints of bondage and S&M.

Arpino designed the clothes himself, and if I am not mistaken, he got his inspiration from the runways in London. I would go further and say the he had been looking into Vivienne Westwood's design during the 1970s and 1980s.
