Throughout these many cultures and times, each “fashion

silhouette” has molded many different views of beauty. All of
these women were considered beautiful for adhering to each
social standard. It is foolish for one to know that beauty can be all
these different things and still believe the beauty construct that
she or he has eternalized is the right one.
