Chinese Mall Replaces Mannequins with Live Models on Treadmills

A viral video shows models walking on treadmills to display fashion, sparking debate over this innovative yet controversial approach.

The viral video, with millions of views, shows models on treadmills outside a Chinese mall's clothing store, replacing traditional mannequins.
Supporters argue that live models help customers better understand how clothes fit and move on a person, adding a dynamic element to shopping.
Critics express concerns about the job's safety, potential monotony, and lack of breaks for the models, questioning the ethics of such a role.
The concept has drawn mixed reactions online, with some praising the fitness aspect and others comparing it to historical retail practices.
Similar live mannequin displays have been noted in other locations, such as Dubai, where they also received mixed feedback from the public.
