3. The models with the clasic collars should be head to toe all others the collar next to wall so that the model faces the client.

See additional explanation below

I guess it simply means upside down in this context.

Collar = head
Folded edge = toe

Collar pointing towards customer, folded edge pointing towards wall.

HTH :)

No, he or she doesn't. (Knowledge of English).

I have questions which would affect the answer to your question. Does "models" refer to the model of shirt/dress, human models or mannequins? I am presuming, if they refer to mannequins in a shop window, that the mannequins should be dressed from head to toe (i.e., fully, with hats and footwear if this is called for). A "head-to-toe" model of shirt does not make sense, and I doubt that these are human models.

reversed

The styles with classic collars should be hung reversed, and all others placed with the collar next to the wall so that the blouse faces the client.

Those who understand these matters will say if this makes some sense. It is very oddly expressed, even after translation into real English.
The English is astounding, but may make slightly better French, and probably is even better in some other language.

"Les modèles avec des cols classiques doivent être tête-à-pied ..."

doesn't sound that great in French either after all
