A jargon that refers to the body line from the back to the waist and pelvis, of a woman.

The silhouette of the body looks like the letter S when viewed from the front or side due to the slender waist and the wide pelvis.
It is a silhouette founded by Jacques Fath in France in the spring of 1954. The skirts were shaped like an alphabet S when it was seen from the side, and the so-called S curve line got started to be used in the Korean fashion industry. Eventually, it seems to have been established as a term for the line of the body.
V-LINE
It is the silhouette that reminds the alphabet V character. In fashion industry, it refers to the silhouette of the inverted triangle whose shoulder width is wider and narrower toward the end.
Also, when referring to the face shape, it usually refers to the slender and beautiful face shape.
It is close to an oval facial shape, rather than a rectangular one.
And a sharp jaw line and a pointy jaw are the marks of the V-line face.

APPLE HIP
Last year, the fitness trend among Korean women has emerged, called “apple hip” or “apple bottoms.”
The reason why it is called “apple hip” is that Koreans prefer to use the word ‘hip,’ more than the word ‘bottoms’ or ‘butts.’
Moreover, the overall shape of butts looks like an apple!
Rather than a preference for a thin and slender look, more and more women have been working out towards a healthy and sexy figure instead. Handfuls of active women with more toned bodies have gotten much positive attention in light of this trend.
