There is a great deal of inherent misogyny in the fashion world. The reigning aesthetic is of a waifishly thin body, which is the antithesis of what a woman's body is meant to look like.

I can't help but wonder whether this trend was influenced (whether consciously or not) by the body aesthetic which gay male fashion designers like. The models end up looking a lot more like young boys than they do full-grown women.
