texture made a big difference in women seeing beauty in a different way. they have always been thin, but some of the models on the cat walk these days are not just skinny, they are down right skeletal. there have always been ideas of bodies, but as standards get higher, they get more and more narrow and prepress sieve. the beauty idea is something that s difficult to obtain. when people worked in the field and the food was scarce, the beauty idea was porcelain white skin and meat on your bones. as food is plentiful and most people work indoors, thin and tan is the beauty ideal. if you only looked at runway shows, you d think these women are from another planet, not even remotely relatable because they are not our size and shape.
