Quotes from The Face of Fashion p172:
I found it ironic that ancient goddess images were so far removed from todays society and the goddesses Venus (Roman mythology) and Afroditie (greek mythology)were celebrated for everything femine, such as love, beauty, springtime, flowers, fertility and sexual love. With "the western ideal of physical beauty derived, in part from Greek art," fashions shallow view seems to be "they should consider the same forms frightful in frocks" as fashion was meant for "figures of phantasy to fit those who have distorted their forms."
