Fashion History of Bbw and Plus Size Women

BBW is an acronym for “Big Beautiful Women.” In the past, a big beautiful body was associated with health and wealth. As a matter of fact, up until the 1960’s, BBW and plus size women were lauded for their beautiful physiques. The plus size woman appeared in almost all of the fashion photographs, films, and paintings of the 1920’s-1950’s. When did all of this change?

In the 1960’s, plus size fashion rapidly disappeared from the covers of magazines and on the silver screen. Many people attribute this changing trend to the first teenage supermodel –Twiggy. Ironically, Twiggy’s name suited her slender frame quite well. Instead of plus size blouses, plus size dresses, and skirts, Twiggy wore slinky dresses which hugged her small frame. In 1967, Marshall McLuhan boldly said: “Twiggy is an Xray, not a picture.”

HAIR FASHION HISTORY: THE SIMPLE AND THE OUTRAGEOUS

I guess humans have been taking care of their hair as soon as Adam and Eve were put on earth. Hair is basic to humanity and hair care, styling and fashion all are only very simple by products of the ever increasing human sophistication. Now in the 21st century, in a world that feels close to Armageddon, hair styling has reached its zenith and in some places of the world, even gone overboard.
Here is a history of how it all began – notice how minute details and sophistication enter the hair fashion world as time progresses and brings us closer to where we are today in 2010.

Hair Styling In Ancient Civilizations – Simplicity, Nobility and Customs
We start with America where the Incas wore short bobbed hair and covered them with black headbands. The Aztecs braided their hair and color strips of cloth. in other parts of the word, for instance Ancient Egypt, women used clips in normal life (that is as long ago as 30000 BC) but wore curled wigs for religious ceremonies. Roman and Greek women presented long straight hair, decorated with gold powder and colored with henna. Even in America itself, the Mayan nobles wore high head-dresses decorated with complex Mayan symbols and priceless ornaments.
The Chinese and Japanese kept their hair long and tied them into ponytails. Their hairstyles were also dictated by their marital status. Unmarried girls wore their hair open and flowing while married women had to bob them from the nape and tie them in a knot there. Arabia and other Muslim countries have no real hair fashion history because they covered their hair completely with cloth.
