Super excited about our new paper on mobility that's out in Nature Human Behavior www.nature.com/articles/s41...
I love this paper for many reasons, but one is that we find beautiful 1/x power-law that spans 6 orders of magnitude hidden within the "ugly" distribution raw mobility data.

More inclusive campaigns, “plus-sized” models, body-positive language. The #fashion industry has grown more vocal about body diversity. But has the industry’s overall body ideal really changed? A new study of nearly 800,000 fashion images says: not really. 🧵👇

Even more striking: when we compare the Relative Fat Mass (think BMI) between the US population (NHANES data) and US models, the gap has not changed at all.
There is almost no overlap between models and the general population.
Who gets to be beautiful, and who decides? The cultural evolution of beauty standards

This pattern aligns with decades of intersectionality scholarship. What we add is large-scale empirical evidence from the fashion industry.
There is more in the paper: past attempts to regulate the industry (when they succeeded and when they failed), and a network analysis of industry prestige.
