threeleggeddog Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 the french elle of this week with Bette Franke on the cover!Sorry for being a bit a.r., but I was looking for the cover date or issue number, because:(1) in the store, the magazines are sometimes sealed in plastic, so I can't look inside.(2) I'm not sure I would recognize Bette Franke (unless her name is on the cover).(3) I'm unclear on exactly how the cover date lines up with the newsstand date, since we get them weeks late.So, is it the March 21st issue?thanks again for posting Quote
Nefertiti Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Ralph Lauren Rep Apologizes For Photoshopping Model When controversy erupted over an image for Ralph Lauren's Blue Label — model Filippa Hamilton's body appeared to have been digitally retouched, so that she looked bobble-headed and emaciated — I was convinced that the image wasn't the original ad. I was sure that it had been retouched by one of those "thinspirational" proanorexia blogs you hear about which feature models Photoshopped, so that they look like Holocaust victims. Wow, was I wrong. A spokesperson for Ralph Lauren made this comment about the controversial image: "For over 42 years, we have built a brand based on quality and integrity. After further investigation, we have learned that we are responsible for the poor imaging and retouching that resulted in a very distorted image of a woman’s body. We have addressed the problem and going forward will take every precaution to ensure that the caliber of our artwork represents our brand appropriately." Website Boing Boing was first to criticize the image by saying, "Dude, her head's bigger than her pelvis." When Ralph Lauren asked them to take the image down, claiming copyright infringement, they refused, citing fair use laws that that allow for the reproduction of images "for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting." Maybe this will be a message to the cabal of Photoshoppers gone wild who don't seem to recognize that they're contributing to the unrealistic body images that make normal women feel inadequate. When an uberthin model isn't thin enough for the fashion industry, something is seriously wrong. Quote

xxonxx Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 That sucks. Too bad RL wasn't specific about why they fired her. She and Val are perfect for RL. Quote
Lye2003 Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 This is a Shame! She is so beautiful and healthy . Quote
qisties Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 I just to enter in Spanish Yahoo and couldn't believe it. Filippa was sacked by Raph Lauren last April because she was "fat"!!!!!!!!!The article is in Spanish when I have time I'll look for in EnglishHERE Quote
Samiot Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 This is a most unfortunate circumstance that Fillippa finds herself in. I sure hope her agency is looking out for her interests in this and not simply making her into a media spectacle. She has, hopefully, a long career ahead, and RL is a powerful company. To me, she is stunningly beautiful just the way she is. I'm sure her BMI is within a normal range for her profession. We'll have to await RL's side of the story before rushing to judgement. Quote
qisties Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 I just to find a Filippa music videoclip that I haven't never seen before. The ban is called "ERA" the name of the videoclip is "Looking for something", the music is beautiful but Filippa appeare gorgeous Have you see it? LINK Quote
azure Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Im not a fan of her but shame on RL. Size 4 should be fine, in fact i think more models should be that size Quote
