Recently I have been noticing shoulders again.
I hadnt realised that sloping shoulders are definitely so out, now, darling!
The 2 illustrations from Jeanette Wintersons column in a recent Times Books illustrate the point. Jeanette has straight, modern shoulders but you wont see any photos of a modern-day woman with shoulders like the lady having her portrait painted
I even flipped through Vogue in WHS. Not a pair of sloping shoulders to be seen

Models may have to walk & pose with a permanent shrug to achieve the right look. Or maybe the photographer/picture editor have to use their arts to achieve the right effect
Sometimes one suspects digital enhancement: Kylies collar bones look anatomically infeasible to my inexpert eye.
President Putins shoulders seem to slope quite a lot but that may be muscle. You see the same effect on a lot of weightlifters & athletes. cf Johnny Wilkinson
