“Lady’s Realm” was a London magazine addressed to a female audience, introduced in the late 19th century by William Henry Wilkins. The magazine not only reflected the lifestyles of high society, but also encouraged the emergence of the “New Woman”, one who dared to think and act differently. The “Lady’s Realm” article of November 1900 presented not only photographs of articulated mannequins, but also live models dressed in Maison Félix “visiting toilets”. At this time, a transition was taking place in the use of mannequins. Inanimate mannequins, often considered “weird” and “unworthy” in the eyes of the public, gradually gave way to live mannequins. This change marked the birth of a veritable profession, in which these women were selected for their perfect figure and their ability to gracefully carry the creations of the fashion houses.
