Doutzen Kroes on Why Photoshop is Essential: ‘People Still Want to Believe in the Fantasy’

An Angel appeared to me in the abandoned high rise where last night’s Maison Martin Margiela x H&M arty party was held: It was the heavenly Doutzen Kroes, who was more than obliging to chat with me (a mere mortal) about the recently leaked, unretouched photos of her modeling bikinis for Victoria’s Secret.

While Kroes is arguably one of the most beautiful women in the world without retouching, it can’t be easy to have slews of before-and-after comparison shots plastering the Internet and showing your every wrinkle, lump and bump.

Week In Review

Alexa Chung on Body Image, Why Fashion Doesn’t Like Anne Romney, and Margiela x H&M

Ann Romney Gets No Fashion Love: Outspoken Democrat Diane von Furstenberg admitted that she’s “not sure” how Anne Romney obtained one of her dresses to wear to a rally, and the fashion PR establishment has been pretty silent on the First Lady hopeful’s outfit choices. Why won’t the fashion industry embrace Anne Romney?

Erin Heatherton on Photoshop: Victoria’s Secret is no stranger to Photoshop scandals. Their very own angel Erin Heatherton let us know how she really feels about all the Photoshop fuss.

All The Pretty Colors: We mapped out fashion month by color to show you which color trends to expect from each city, and which hues will be big next spring. The visuals are awesome!

Victoria’s Secret Angel Erin Heatherton Tells Us How She Really Feels About Photoshopping

If you follow a fashion blog or two, you’re probably aware that there’s a wave of did-they-or-didn’t-they Photoshop hysteria going on right now. The latest cases in point: Karlie Kloss’ disappearing ribs, Candice Swanepoel’s lopsided boob-controversy and American Apparel’s, uh, floating horse head conspiracy.

It was high time we checked in with a qualified expert for some insight into this matter. Luckily, the supermodel-populated God’s Love We Deliver event honoring Michael Kors was the perfect place to gather intel and we honed in on Victoria’s Secret Angel Erin Heatherton to share her expert opinion.

Victoria’s Secret Angels Hate Photoshopping Too (Especially When It Costs Them a Leg)

Girl-power-fueled teen activists aren’t the only ones who find extreme Photoshopping offensive. Understandably, the actual models being ‘shopped, including superstars like the Victoria’s Secret angels, are miffed about it too.

Remember how Vogue China recently amputated Doutzen Kroes’s perfect right leg in a Photoshopping snafu? Turns out we weren’t the only ones bummed out by Vogue China’s, er, creative decision. Speaking to the New York Post at Supermodel Cycle Ride at SoulCycle on Wednesday, Kroes said:
