De 26-jarige dochter van Demi Moore en Bruce Willis is woedend dat haar foto’s voor het lookbook van Franziska Fox’ spring/summer 2015-collectie aanzienlijk zijn bewerkt.
Niet alleen werd aan haar gezicht gemorreld, ook is ze zichtbaar dunner gemaakt. Aan Us Weekly vertelt Rumer:
'I was frustrated. I think I would have felt very differently if I was a model who was hired to be a part of the brand. I get that there are certain things they want to change or whatever. But, if you're hiring me to be a representative of your brand and you’re changing who I am – like drastically changing how I look while everybody knows how I look by taking away the muscle – I just thought it was odd, you know?’
‘IT LOOKED WEIRD’
Willis vindt dat de foto’s er nu dan ook erg gek uit zijn gaan zien:
‘If you have a zit or something on your face or a weird crease that you want to get rid of, don’t get me wrong: I’ll be the first to be like, 'Yeah, that looks weird.'" The editors behind her lookbook, though, "were trying like, to change my face and take the muscles out of my arms… It looked weird.’
‘WELL, THAT’S F---ED UP’
Nog erger: Rumer kreeg de foto’s niet eens eerst te zien, voordat ze werden gelanceerd. Ze moest van haar stilist horen over het Photoshop-debacle, die de foto's plots voorbij zag komen op Instagram:
‘My stylist told me about it and I was like, 'Well, that's f---ed up.' Then I immediately called my manager and said, 'You know, this is unacceptable, because that’s not what I want to put out in the world and what I want to represent anyway.’
‘NO ONE SHOULD BE JUDGING YOU FOR ANYTHING’
De 26-jarige actrice wil iedereen dan ook op het hart drukken dat je je niet teveel moet spiegelen aan de foto’s die je voorbij ziet komen:
'The ideal, you know, in this industry – all of the photos that you’re growing up as a little girl and seeing – are all Photoshopped and retouched. This idea that how you are is not okay should not be the case. You should be able to feel beautiful with no makeup on, completely naked, and feel totally stoked about how you look and no one should be judging you for anything.’
