The canons of beauty cannot be eternal. Over the past hundred years, the image of the ideal woman has undergone significant changes. How ideas about an ideal figure changed can be traced for decades.
The beginning of the century
Until 1910, there was a special vision of female beauty. Young ladies pulled themselves in corsets so that they lost consciousness. Their waist was becoming aspen, and their chest was disproportionately high. The picture was completed by rounded hips. In addition, the girls combed their hair back, creating a neat, but fluffy hairstyle.
"Butterflies" of the 20s
In just a decade, ideas about the ideal figure have fundamentally changed. Now corsets were not needed, the hair became short and in the form of a "wet wave". Ladies smoked and drove cars. Girls chose loose dresses to the knee, often opening their backs. Their figure was taut and narrow. Psychologists called them "butterflies" for frivolity and obsession with fashion, cars and entertainment.
1930s
Women realized how important elements of clothing were to them, emphasizing the natural curves. Representations of the figure combined the leanness of the past decade and the desire for femininity.
Curvy
In the 40s and 50s, the trends changed in the direction of magnificent breasts. First, we are talking about the slim, but healthy health of Rita Hayworth. The image of Marilyn Monroe for a long time ranks first in the dreams of men. Girls all over the world want to be like her, have an hourglass figure.
Twiggy's Appearance
The 60s became known as revolutionary in everything. The sexual revolution not only changed the way people think, but also gave them new ideas about the ideal female figure. The personification of the decade was the Twiggy model. She was thin and tall, which pushed millions of girls on exhausting diets. The big-eyed model, however, claimed that this was useless, because she was simply thin by nature.
Tanned athletes
The 70-80s passed in the vein of sports mania. The ideal figure for the girls became tanned and fit women. They had to walk with loose hair and a minimum of makeup, constantly engage in fitness and not have excess weight.
Kate moss
Fashion trends change radically in the 90s. Now radical thinness becomes dominant. Models tend to become skinny and pale. Kate Moss is not just an image of the time, she is becoming the standard of beauty and the personification of fashion.
