One size fits all
and Curves ahead
Beauty is a very abstract and subjective notion : everyone creates its own definition of what is beautiful
. But this notion is largely influenced by society: during past centuries, in Europe, white skin was an incontrovertible beauty criterion, while today sunny skin is considered better looking.
It’s also the same with slim criterion : plump women were models of beauty during 18 and 19 centuries, and are today yet in some countries, while slimness is actually a major physical characteristic for our top models.
V Magazine goes besides these ideas and offers us two series of pictures, called One size fits all
and Curves ahead
, which emphasizes the beauty of plump women, their freshness, their vitality.
A good initiative in a society where slimness is always put as an objective to reach to be liked or look nice. Because we often forget one of the main characteristics of beauty: it’s subjective and shouldn’t be submitted to arbitrary criterion imposed by our society.
