Vogue’s September issue (VOGUE)
It’s no secret that magazine covers get retouched, but is this Vogue’s completely airbrushed September issue with Lady Gaga going too far?
Notice how in Vogue’s behind the scenes montage of Lady Gaga’s September photoshoot, the Mother Monster’s bright purple Marc Jacobs gown looks bulkier and unflattering. You’ll find that her hair looks nothing like the styled mane on the cover but instead a bleached, frizzy nest. Lastly, Gaga’s face is strong-featured and expressive in the picture, instead of the stoic nonchalance seen in the montage.
Is this airbrushing too extreme or is all fair in the name of high fashion?
