That's a good question you ask, and we'd have to thumb through the history to find out exactly. But I think I know the related factors- think improvement in health standards allowing us to think more of things other than our health (dangerous beauty practices were around since the Egyptians and romans...lead poisoning was well documented by historians of the time). Also, I point the finger at popular culture and the idolising habits of secularism for exacerbating the warped aesthetics of a modern society.


I'm now reminded of the plus-size model boom.
