Why people along the lines of Calvin Klein and Yves St Laurent chose that standard utterly escapes me.
I once told a woman, chasing my pay check, that I preferred my women tall and slim with the a$$ of a young boy. She moved on, I like the Classic American look, see photo above.

Um, maybe because fashion moguls are, what’s the word, it starts with “f” and rhymes with rags?
Part of it may be because they like adolescent boys, but probably more because it's just easier to create a dress to fit on a straight cylindrical figure. Curves are complicated to cut a dress for.
On the other side, the women who complain the most about the fashion industry not designing for "women with curves" are not what I would consider curvy. Sophia Loren in her prime was curvy. Raquel Welch was curvy. Most of the complaining women are just fat.
Runway models are walking clothes racks. Female curves distract from the line and style of the clothes and lead viewers to watch the models instead of the product.
Fashion shows aren't intended to make men excited or make average women feel bad about their weight. Their purpose is to sell a wholesale product to retailers. That product needs to be on a woman whose body fades into the background and displays the product to maximum advantage.
LOL! And much has been written on this topic, indeed. That gay male designers would advance as their sexual prototype a woman who is, in reality, a boy is no secret. It’s pretty disgusting. Men have been metrosexualized to death and the standard of beauty for women has been to make them look more and more angular...ala men.
