When Photoshop Goes Too Far
Does this picture look strange to you? It gained a ton of attention earlier this week when the site Photoshop Disasters posted it and made some criticism regarding the picture. The blogger wrote, ‘Make her head bigger than her pelvis! Do it!” Ralph Lauren caught wind of the negative comments and smacked the blogger with a cease and desist order for reposting the picture of the gaunt looking model. The Ralph Lauren model is 23-year-old French-Swedish model Filippa Hamilton,,, oh wait back up its, Countess Filippa Hamilton and she is not that damn thin. Filippa has been modeling for Ralph Lauren for some time. It’s just unfortunate that this picture had to be photoshopped to make her look like a damn Bratz doll.
Ralph Lauren felt the heat and released a statement, “For over 42 years we have built a brand based on quality and integrity… we have learned that we are responsible for the poor imaging and retouching that resulted in a very distorted image of a woman’s body.”
Not too sincere eh? I like the part when they say we have learned. Uhh did you not see the pictures before you posted them for the world to see? The bad part is that there are some girls who have already posted this picture to their refrigerator to be worshiped.
