ESMOD Editions also produces male and female dress forms in sizes 36 to 44, preserving the heritage of the patented mannequin created by Alexis Lavigne in 1854. To encourage draping experimentation while reducing fabric use, ESMOD Editions offers a practical, transportable half-mannequin. In addition, our flexible measuring tape reflects the ingenuity of Alexis Lavigne’s visionary and revolutionary inventions—now essential tools for fashion professionals worldwide.
|  ESMOD Editions Rooted in the publishing tradition established by Alexis Lavigne—who released his first Tailor’s Method or Complete Cutting Manual in 1841 and served as editor-in-chief of Fashion-Theory starting in 1847—ESMOD Editions continues this legacy by publishing bilingual books aligned with the contemporary educational approaches of Fashion Business and Fashion Design. These publications cover a wide range of topics, from design and pattern-making to fashion history, textile guides, and marketing. |
