When young British models Cara Delevingne and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley stepped out at Paris Fashion Week wearing V-neck tops slashed to their waists this week, onlookers might have expected an abundance of breast on show. After all, the new trend for deep-plunge necklines leaves little to the imagination. But there was, in fact, barely any cleavage to be seen — despite the minimal material. For this slick new style, spearheaded by the slimmest of celebrities, is actually all about having no cleavage. It is, indeed, the ‘no-cleavage cleavage’: a daring display of chest that demonstrates not acres of soft, ample bosom but a hard, toned torso without a whiff of wobble.
