Re: Madrid Model-by-Weight Rule
Remember that "curvier" in fashion lingo means a size two in real women terms! The Madrid models are still going to be very thin according to real women.
I saw this documentary on PBS called "How Art Made The World" and in it the host talked about how the Athenians learnt the art of making actual human sized sculptures from the Egyptians, but after a brief stint of doing so, went back to making "imaginary" shaped scultpures such as "David" not because they didnt have the technology and knowledge of making realistic ones but because reality had nothing to do with their perception of the human form. And I believe that thought continues to this day.
Ps-How art made the world is a GREAT documentary, I highly recommend it!
