Coco Rocha’s Photoshop Fury

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorials, Models,

Coco RochaCoco Rocha has hit out after a magazine allegedly Photoshopped images of her.

The stunning model appears on the front cover of Elle Brazil in a plunging skin-tight dress, which reveals lots of skin and cleavage. However, Coco claims she was wearing a body suit under the dress to protect her modesty but it had been edited out and took to her Tumblr account to speak of her upset.

"As a high fashion model I have long had a policy of no nudity or partial nudity in my photo shoots. For my recent Elle Brazil cover shoot I wore a body suit under a sheer dress which I now find was photoshopped out to give the impression of me showing much more skin than I was, or am comfortable with.
''This was specifically against my expressed verbal and written direction to the entire team that they not do so. I'm extremely disappointed that my wishes and contract was ignored. I strongly believe every model has a right to set rules for how she is portrayed and for me these rules were clearly circumvented."

Jennifer Hudson Isn’t Used to Dressing Skinny

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,

Jennifer HudsonJennifer Hudson is still trying to figure out how to dress her new figure. The singer-and-actress has lost over 80lbs since giving birth to son David in August 2009, and while she has developed a new love of fashion, she still can't decide on what look she wants to go for.

"I just love fashion now. It's so much more flexible, and there are so many more options out there now. I feel like my own little Barbie doll - I get to dress myself up. I hated heels before, but that's all I wear now. But because it's a new body, I'm trying to find out, how do I want to be perceived? Who is this new me? I knew how to be the big girl, but now I have to find out how to be this girl."

Although she is happy with her new figure, Jennifer recently revealed she was furious when she was Photoshopped by a magazine to look slimmer than she was. "It's like, 'Where's the rest of me?' They Photoshopped me probably to the size I am now on that cover, when we all know I was nowhere near that. To me, it did not send out a good message. And it did not represent me well. Did I not just prove that talent is enough if I made it this far? Being who I am, being the size that I am?"


Hedi Slimane Shoots Georgia May Jagger for Harper’s Bazaar

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Models, News,

It looks like Harper's Bazaar is on a role with their editorials! First was Christina Hendricks, and now Georgia May Jagger graces the fashion magazine's pages this month looking gorgeous and ever-so graceful. Fashion designer and photographer Hedi Slimane shot the rockstar spawn (catch a video and the rest of the photos after the jump) in Giorgio Armani, Michael Kors, Gucci, Lanvin, and Chanel Haute Couture.

When asked about what her model mother Jerry Hall thinks of her topless shoots, she seems to not care, considering she's been there and done that decades ago:  "My mum did a lot of very provocative work with Helmut Newton. She understands."

Whether it's the result of her mother's genes or her own inherent talent, Georgia May looks flawless in the photos.

PHOTOS: Pre-Photoshop Madonna for Dolce and Gabbana

Madonna in unretouched D&G ads

Yet another celebrity’s pre-Photoshop images are outed by the internet. This time, it’s for Dolce & Gabbana.

Although the untouched photo may not be the best angle or lighting, it is very clear that Madonna’s controversial arms have been de-muscled in the ads, in addition to some heavy editing done to her nose and chin. Her eye makeup isn’t very flattering either, which is perhaps why the ads were printed in black and white.

Either way, the Queen of Pop works hard for her toned form; she should be able to flaunt—not drastically alter—it!

Items Du Jour: Marion Sans Photoshop, Lenny Kravitz Wears Heels

Lenny Kravitz—An ad that actually features Taylor Momsen’s face for John Galliano’s latest perfume product was released with Momsen wearing more clothes and a little less makeup. But just barely.

—The designer of Lady Gaga’s controversial meat dress, Franc Fernandez, takes a moment to answer some questions. Not surprisingly, he wasn’t fond of answering the animal rights-related one.

—Now that her little sister is out of the picture, Beyonce took it upon herself to model the House of Dereon’s new temporary tattoo product. The tattoos were actually added to the Fall collection in an attempt to make it “ediger.”

—Lenny Kravitz recently stepped out in New York channeling his inner Marc Jacobs as he sported a cowl-neck jumper with a murse and thigh-high heeled boots to match.

—Reality star and former Playboy girlfriend Holly Madison is putting her love of shoes aside to help out a charity set to raise $50,000 for victims of natural disasters.

Crystal Renn Blasts Airbrushing

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Editorials, Health & Beauty, Models, News,

After and before photo of Crystal Renn

Plus-size supermodel was horrified after bosses airbrushed 30lbs off her frame for a campaign poster.

Crystal, who is a size 10, says the pictures for the Fashion for Passion advertisements no longer look like her because her appearance has been altered so much. 

“They brushed about 30lbs off my body. I sat there in silence for so long when I saw the pictures. I couldn’t believe what they’d done. It didn’t look like me. Don’t cut inches off my thighs. Don’t make me a size two when I’m a 10. It’s totally misleading. Fashion should be about a beautiful girl in beautiful clothes, not this size obsession. It’s dangerous. But if I have a zit or cellulite, take it off!”

Items Du Jour: Jessica Alba Saves the Day, Tom Ford Confirms Next Film

Emma Watson at the Glastonbury Festival—Louis Vuitton models walked down the catwalk with temporary tattoos from artist Scott Campbell. Ed Hardy much?

—Actress Jessica Alba has completed her good deed of the week, swaying a 21 year-old Chinese woman from getting plastic surgery to look like her, in hopes of winning her ex-boyfriend back.

—Burberry’s Fall/Winter 2010 ad campaign has hit the interwebs. The photos star a beautiful and British blend of models and musicians. Great, another reason to be jealous of not being British.

—After the critical success of his directorial debut, it’s no wonder that Tom Ford is taking on a second film. Unfortunately, he’s not letting any details slip just yet.

—Emma Watson attended the Glastonbury Music Festival looking somewhat stylish. I’m loving her Louis Vuitton corset, but not necessarily agreeing with her choice in blue jean shorts.

Mischa Barton Heavily Photoshopped in Philipp Plein Ad

Mischa Barton for Philipp PleinMischa Barton at a gas station recently

The acting world doesn’t seem to want her, so Mischa Barton marches on with her recent foray into modeling. As of late, Barton appears in an ad campaign for German fashion designer Philipp Plein looking thinner (not to mention also oddly proportioned) than in real life.

In light of the onslaught of negative reactions to Ralph Lauren and Ann Taylor’s overly photo edited images, you’d think that clothing designers would have taught their graphic artists a lesson. Although Barton’s pose is odd to begin with, her waist and right hip and thigh look abnormal!

What do you think of the ad?

Just when we thought that fashion magazines would be more careful about trimming down celebrities for their covers, ‘s July Elle cover is raising some eyebrows.

Known for her toned yet curvy waist and hips, Rihanna’s waist looks unrealistic and derriere is nearly absent.

Has gone too far in Photoshop?

If you’re still unsure, check out a behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot after the jump.
