Lytton Strachey
In the 18th and early 19th centuries, when it was the fashion to place furnishings along the walls, the chair rail prevented chairs from banging up against the wall and damaging the plaster surfaces.

The waist thing has been brewing for some time, but it now chimes with our interest in a 50s silhouette, and the Victorian one. Ideas always take time to hit the street, though.
