ROFLMAO!! Seriously! Always amazes me these get THROUGH to print!
Ya know its as bad as some covers currently being released. (Not by me of course coz I rock!) I'll try and find it, the model - she has a dislocated arm behind her head......
Forgetting anatomy for a moment, the way her thighs curve actually works well with the composition of the picture. And it's a better picture than 95% of those on MM - and certainly better than my own.

I am a little bit skeptical. Some of them look valid and still wrong, but the one with filippa for example, where her waist is slimmer than her head, I just can't believe it went through at Tommy. I am sure someone made this and leaked it out as it was an official retouch. Maybe someone can point me to an online source that has the official ad, then I believe it.
lol! how could they forget her arm? There's the photographer, the art director, the photo re-toucher, the layout composer, the page editor, and the publisher.
Aggressive airbrushing: Victoria's Secret came under fire last year after model Marisa Miller's arm was removed in the digital retouching process

I wonder if those two are deliberately distorted like that for billboards??
Because people will be looking upwards at them? If you look at a normal shaped girl plastered on the side of a building from the ground, they can look dumpy and pear-shaped.
Think that could be it? (lols @ the pencil thighs btw - that's just an art director with a slightly warped perspective on reality)
I think the creative team of R.L. simply made it that way. They want to get noticed and it worked, they got press. When I saw the ad, it looks like one of those paintings with big heads.
for the victoria secret, i can think of several things.
1. One over controlling art/creative director or boss, that keeps telling the retoucher what to do, the retoucher just does not want to argue so he just did it to get over with.
2. Rushed for publication, send it now or it will not be printed, they never had time to review.
3. In los angeles, or even other places, I have to admit that there are people who makes it or they get the job because of who they know and how they look. so maybe, the people who got hired are the wrong people for the job.
This is obviously a case of the "re-toucher" telling them he needs a raise......this is a case of "you get what you pay for"....and he decided for her thighs to look real that is another $1000.....lol

These always astound me. I'm not very good with photo shop (for model retouching at least), but I think anyone with a brain cell would see these screaming mistakes.
These are the people that are being paid a fortune.. maybe if they put a tf call up they would get a better standard lol.. but that's a different thread.

Haha, not so much that one (only explanation I have for that is if they're going to mount it over a tunnel entrance and need dual carriageway traffic to go through the legs).
That bullshit just can't be true! For me, it's a stupid sabotage, black humour, joke... or whatever. VS's proved for the ages that at least they have a eye for what is esthetic...
I doubt that the other brands could afford such a failure either!
Don't believe in everything what the yellow press tells...

I'm guessing this is a marketting ploy... Here we are talking about it.
There is no way in hell a name like Victorias Secret would release images like this without knowing how horrible the post work is.

I disagree...the site I linked before shows how the biggest world wide companies make these kinds of mistakes all the time.
Microsoft is another I rem with a screw-up a while back.
I just did a catalog job a couple of weeks ago and can't wait for the work to show up on photoshop disasters... But when they need 800 images done in 4 days, thats what happens.

maybe because you steal other peoples work.. your avatar looks eerrily familiar to a piece that I and Pete harrison did as a collaboration several years ago..
