The most important thing for models is weight loss.

Until the 17th and 18th centuries, looking at paintings, the epitome of beauty was not thin people but plump ones.

From ancient times, plump and generously proportioned individuals were considered beautiful, but with the rise of the profession of modeling,

the perspective shifted to favor thin people as the standard of beauty.

The reason is simple.

When plump people wear clothes, the clothes are not noticeable and only the person is seen.

However, when thin people wear clothes, the clothes stand out.

Therefore, the reason models are thin is not simply because slimness itself is beautiful.

It's because designer clothes come alive more than 100% when worn by thin people.
