Victoria's Secret is making headlines for the wrong reasons. Fortune reported a recent photograph posted to Victoria's Secret's social accounts has caused followers to accuse the lingerie brand of poor Photoshopping. In the ad, Victoria's Secret models Martha Hunt and Stella Maxwell are posing to sell the Body by Victoria product line. However, what sticks out (literally) in the image is Hunt's elbow. The awkward image may or may not be due to posing and lighting, however social media users were convinced it was due to poor editing.
Total Retail's Take: This particular case seems a little much. If you take a look at the image, this easily could've been an awkward posing mistake. However, this isn't the first time Victoria's Secret has been in the limelight for Photoshop fails. In the fall of 2015, an ad for a pair of underwear captioned “Truly. Madly. Cheeky,” featured a model who seems to be missing, well, a cheek. People quickly went to social platforms to offer their "cheeky" takes, as well as their distaste for the company's over-Photoshopping habits.
