Missing Link: Vogue Russia Cover Model Has A Missing Arm

It’s still up for debate, is this just a matter of angle, or does Natasha Poly have a missing arm due to post production for the August issue of Vogue Russia?

So far, the discussion has split right down the middle. There are so many factors that support either direction.

What are your thoughts? 

Thank you to Cecil for sending this in!

Adele Covers American Vogue

At first I thought they heavily altered Adele for the recent Vogue cover, considering she carried around much more weight before. 

But then I realized she actually has lost a ton of weight recently!

So this deserves props on both her US Vogue Cover, and for her weight loss!

Well done.

Photoshop Takes Another Finger: Lilly Grace (Vogue)

How many fingers will it take to satisfy Photoshop’s hunger? It apparently has a huge craving for human parts. 

This time, it doesn’t spare the children or women as Kate Moss’s daughter has been thrown in the mix. 

Lila Grace, Moss’ daughter, seems to have lost the tips of her fingers.

It’s not only a dumb mistake, but also sort of silly: how many rolls of fat or excessive wrinkles did 8-year-old Lila Grace have on her hands? Just how unkempt were her fingernails to warrant such a clumsy Photoshop fail?

Photoshop, please think of the children! They’re too young! *weeps*

Android Gaga

This is what Lady Gaga looks like in the morning after she forgets to take off her outfit from the previous night - A hot mess. 

Kidding!

For the sake of fashion, she turned into an ‘angry android’ for L’Uomo Vogue.

If you ask me, I don’t like it at all. But hey, when you wrap the word ‘fashion’ around it as a justification, who is going to argue against it? 

I just did.

Oh snap.

Photoshop Disaster: VOGUE

Yes, not even Vogue is immune to the dreaded Photoshop Disaster.

Break a leg, not cut it off! Does anyone even care anymore? I give up.

This season comes in with a new trend in the modeling industry. Anorexia is so not in, amputation is where it’s at! 

And another one in the series. 

I love the warped foot.

Aside from utterly horrible liquifying, there are other issues. It must be reminiscent of Dali, if Dali used HDR and kept the halos in the image. Perhaps it may be a high pass halo, where you put the high pass filter way too high. Either way, these halos are not the heavenly kind.

I could go on all day, it’s almost as exciting as a game of where’s waldo, if there were 10 of them in the image. 

Dali - for those of you who are not familiar with the name:  

Vogue, I know times are hard, but you need me on staff to overview that issues like these never make it past the first draft, let alone into the final.

But in all seriousness, aside from the joking around, I would really like to know what happened behind the scenes. I am fully aware of the insanity level deadlines that editorial work faces on the retouching side (can you say 9 images in 12 hours?), so there’s usually an explanation for this. Although, probably not a good one, but there is one never the less. 

Though don’t get me wrong, this is not excusable and there needs to be tighter measures that things like this never happens. Is it an indirect sign of our economy and the lack of staff? Who knows. 

I’m passionate about Vogue, because one day I would want to work for them and I believe their name is pristine with the standards they uphold. I would want to be held accountable and to the same standard when I work for them.

In the end, this should not happen.
