That in the fashion industry like to trick and models on billboards and in magazines are cheated thinner, has almost lost its scandal character. But: That we do not find the Photoshop cheating any more shocking, is probably the real reason for concern. Fresh air in the Photoshop debate brings in August 2014 Model Meaghan Kausman.

The Australian was photographed underwater by photographer Pip Summerville in a white two-piece by Fella Swim. A few days later, the model discovered his image on the Instagram account of the swimwear label - but extremely changed. "They practically halved me!" Says Meaghan in an interview with the Today Show. "I was shocked that they saw the need to do something like this. And that they could take my and Pips's creative property and change it to something that fits their idea of ​​beauty. "On Instagram, Meaghan clarifies, " I have dress size 38, not 34. "

Especially absurd: The photos are not an official advertising campaign for Fella Swim. The label had provided Meaghan the clothing only for their private shoot. Dismayed about the Cheat Photos is not only Meaghan, but also her dad. Dr. Rick Kausman is a physician specializing in helping people with weight problems - in a healthy and natural way. Rick Kausman demands: "Magazines should at least make their readers aware that the photos have been changed, for example by a small footnote on the corresponding page.
