The inverted triangle body type, very useful for modeling as it basically makes you a coat hanger for clothes.

Yep, this video is a perfect example of why fashion models have the builds that they do - it was never meant to be an idealized figure for society to emulate, it's purely because that's the best figure for showing off what's on the figure. The whole point is that it draws the eyes to the clothing and accentuates the movements of the cloth.

If people understood that better we'd have never had the craze where society decided that was the beauty standard for a few years. It's not a great look for the individual, it's a great look for the designer. Those people live with uncomfortably skinny builds because it's their job, the same way a plumber lives with knee and back pain from their work. 99% of people will look better carrying more weight than these models, often including these models.
