I'm moved to ask your opinion after reading about the designer, Karl Lagerfeld, who said, "no one wants to see curvy women". His preference was to dress emaciated women, he felt his clothes looked better on them.
Lagerfeld was a strange man in the sense he believed weight loss should be for aesthetic . . . rather than health reasons (do you remember his diet book?).
Me . . . I have three thoughts regarding Lagerfeld and "curvy":
1.) Economic - More outfits using less fabric = higher profits
2.) Personal Style - He preferred a personal style and wardrobe like that being worn by young, thin, and "pretty" males
3.) Curvy: The antithesis of his physical desire - The anorexic look destroys any of the traditional physicality associated with a woman . . . rendering them into thin, pretty "males".
He considered a size 4 "curvy"!
