not really… there are people who are better of with clothes be it thin or fat. u definitely dont want seeing a skinny model showing of all the bones of her ribs and spinal cord also you dont want a fat woman’s cellulite. People who are considered ideal/normal look good without clothes and not everyone

I think, if you think that the human body is a beautiful thing (universally, no matter the particulars), then it makes sense to view a naked person as lovelier than a clothed person. And I think a positive image of the human body would actually help a designer be a better designer. Because even if you are thin, or fat, or disproportionate, or wrinkled, your body can still do amazing things, like walk and run and dance, and smell and see and feel and hug.
