Quotable: Elle Brazil photoshopped away Coco Rocha’s clothes and she’s not impressed
Coco Rocha is certainly known as a passionate supporter of healthy regulations and expectations within the modeling industry. She’s spoken at length about industry pressures to look a certain way, and how excessive retouching and photoshopping can send the wrong message to impressionable fans and viewers. However, it seems that some publications have yet to understand just how serious—and rightfully so!—she is. Yesterday, the model took to her blog to talk about a photo that appeared on the May 2012 cover of Elle Brazil:
“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.”
