1) Lets start with the ancient times shall we. At that time clothes were expensive and not affordable for everyone. So, the aristocracy (fashion icons of that time) used to wear more than necessary voluminous clothes. Now with enough clothes for everyone people are trying to slowly eliminate it from their life.
2) During the World Wars most women had to work in the sun and developed a tan. So, people liked models who are very fair, because only the rich can afford to sit inside their home without getting tanned.
3) During and immediately after the WWs the people had to work hard and eat less, so the people liked models who are more curvy and denotes they don't have to do any manual labour.
4) After the WWs and during the economic boom most people were working inside their offices and were less involved in working outside. Then the people started to prefer models who have a tan, as that showed that they can afford to go on holidays, sit on the beach and work on their tan.
In the same sense now people in developed countries have too much to eat and are a little plump, so obviously they will like thinner models who shows that they don't have to sit at their office and can spend hours working out.
