The clothier H&M is in the news this week and Craita, Ann C.,  and Marjukka O. all sent in links to the story.  It turns out that they  are using a mannequin to display their clothes. Nothing new here.   Except that the mannequins are appearing on their website (instead  of their brick-and-mortar stores) and they are photoshopping heads of  real models onto the figure and changing the skin color, giving it the  illusion of being a real person.
