Beauty 3000 Years Of Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that eye can see things very differently given the time period. This idea was explored by creating a video with live models, showing us how the concept of an ideal woman woman’s body type has changed throughout history. We all probably have some idea of how women from all of the different historical periods dressed, but the idea that there were different ideal body types may not have occurred to many of us. The uniform white bathing suits that all of the models are wearing help accentuate the differences between their bodies, doing away with other potential historical elements that we might have focused on otherwise like clothing or jewelry. It all just goes to show that there’s no one right way to interpret feminine beauty.
