Is the perfect body an attachment to youth?

Neil advised me to look up Ellie Harrison and Lucy Orta, after a brief discussion with him today. He mentioned that the 'perfect' woman's body that is portrayed, is that of a young teenage boy, which embarrassingly enough, is pretty correct. We spoke about how the aspiration of this body could be linked to an attachment to youth. I also spoke about how I would like to incorporate the fact that sizes have completely changed over the years. Even in the last few, I would say that what was a size 12, is now a size 14, with clothes measuring the old size 10, now being labelled a 12. This wouldn't be such a worrying thought if society didn't put so much focus on people size and image.
