Behind the Scenes Dup Models Shape Fashion Industry
In New York the duplicate fashion models, anonymous in shows, test garments in backroom workspaces.

Barbara Jones and Luis Diorio exemplify their steadiness, independence, and critical role in design and production across multiple houses.

A fitting at Rembrandt featured a client who found a belt sewn to a skirt and a neckline shape unsatisfactory. She objected to a third dress’s metallic thread and a lining was added. The head of the business did not kiss her, but the session was deemed a success as corrections should prevent future trouble in stores. Having average proportions does not dismay the duplicate girls.
