We created the new type of mannequin to create a statement in shopping malls: a breastfeeding mannequin. In partnership with renowned local and international woman fashion brands in Colombia in different shopping malls across the country, we replace one of there mannequin for ours with a sing next to it demanding that the shopping mall change there policies towards mothers that breastfeed.
