From the belief that clavicles- when exposed, e.g. in a topless dress or in a state of semi-nakedness or nakedness- make a woman or man look beautiful.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/10/fashion/10clavicle.html Quote from the article : Why the new emphasis on a body part most women — and more men — have paid little attention to in the past? Credit a swing of the fashion pendulum, and a malaise over “Girls Gone Wild” style. Showing off your clavicle is “the opposite of showing your thong,” said Valerie Steele, director of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. Another reason is that prominent clavicles can be a signifier of skinniness. Sharply outlined collarbones say “Don’t let this tent dress fool you: Underneath it all, this girl can fit into a sample size.” “The clothing threatens to make you look overweight and so you need a certain body to undo that threat,” said Virginia Blum, a professor of English at the University of Kentucky, who has written extensively on women and beauty. “In that clothing, one has to find a way of revealing the authentically thin body.”
