Tommy Hilfiger: I'm Stumped


What, run out of two-legged models or something?

Thanks to El Perro in Argentina!

They could have given her three legs and the only thing a lot of Hilfiger buyers would have cared about was if she was wearing panties under that dress.

Part of their "Hop on over to Tommy Hilfiger" ad campaign.

Her name must be Eileen. Or Peggy.

Do you have any idea how difficult it was for the art director to find a model that wouldn't block that beautiful background?

What's really terrible is portraying a sick anorexic teen and selling it as a trendy lifestyle.

By the way..
The Part from her Knee to her "A*s" ( i dunno the word for it) seems very long ?

Hey, Heather Mills-Psycho-Bitch only has one leg and it never stopped her modelling.

Claus said...

Cue joke about his third leg...

J. Karanka said...

What if they actually had run out of models with two legs? Up for an apology? :o/

Stumpy said...

It's actually a Siamese twin with three legs. Hilfiger is now catering to a very exclusive clientele.

highland said...

With how skinny her calf is, I think it would make anatomical and angle sense that it's just on the other side of the man's leg.

PinkPanthress said...

Yay, Hilfiger for the bodily impaired! :D One legged Models are so rare yet so hip and... wow!

it must be somehow hidden behind the dude's leg. i hope that's the case... otherwise there are about 30 (minimum) fucking morons that looked at this and approved it. still, even if this the case, did no one say "she has only one leg"? couldn't they have comped one in from another shot??

Ben said...

I wonder if that's what there searching for through the binoculars - her lost leg.

fswerk said...

btw. she also needs to eat something sometime

Thats just a photography error - leave it alone.

Deviant said...

The first thing I was wondering about is this thing in front of her head. What is that? Where are they? Where did she get those freakin huge binoculars?

Anonymous said...

That is Heather Mills.

Perhaps they had a limited shoe budget. As said before, photographic error, her left leg is behind his.

Not in those shoes, it wouldn't. Her left foot would have to be twisted 90 degrees anti-clockwise, or you'd be able to see the shoe.

Señorita Puri: Yeah that's it, it's horrible when western people dont realize when to eat... pffft...

Sam said...

Look at the length and angles of her leg. Look at the length and angles of his legs. If her leg's behind his, it's broken in at least two places.

Anonymous said...

Also she would have to have a really deep buttcrack for both of her thighs to run parallel to his, but on either side.

Maybe it's a new way to make people look like they weigh even less.

Ironically, suitepotato might not be far off the mark. Several years ago, an advert ran in a magazine - a seemingly ordinary photo of a woman sitting in a chair, nothing special about it at all but as you flicked past, something nagged at you as not being right. When you went back to it, looking at it again, you realised the woman actually had three legs.

The point being people are so used to seeing ads like this, they become desensitised to them, rarely stopping to see what is being advertised. By adding an anomaly you are compelled to look at it; the fact it's here is somewhat of a testament to this.

It won't be long before agencies catch on to sites like this and start creating contrived 'disasters' as a kind of viral marketing plan.

Lara said...

oh, no! and it looks like it was a really nice photo of an anorexic teen and a guy in his late thirties (:ironic:) before they butchered it in ps...

It's quite obvious what's happened here: he is a serial killer and has hacked her other leg off and stretched the skin over an elaborate mechanical rack (glimpsed in the foreground) like a sail.

He has just spotted something in the distance and judging by her anxious expression, it could be the police.

It's either that or she ate the other leg before she keeled over from starvation. I suspect that's what the bag was for. Bulimics, pah!

Alex said...

...Are her cheeks caving or something? o_O

morbo said...

i think its safe to say at this point that this blog is a place largely for art-director f-up's.
in this case, looking at the images given in by the photographer and picking the one where the model looks like she only has one leg.

not photoshop? meh, it's still stupid enough to warrent pointing out.

morbo said...

(oh, and in fairness to the model, i think she's being made to look thiner than she is. take away the bone accentuating make-up, the proportion skewing giant binoculars and clumpy shoes, and the chest flattening style of dress, and you probably have a slim, tall, but actually normal looking young woman)

it's the latest rage in getting down to weight

Listen up all you sniggering social retards: Her left leg isn't missing, it's just hidden by a stray layer...

Chromatically Challenged said...

Sorry for the late response, I'm writing this from a hospital bed: that last comment caused my sides to split. Oh, the wit.

mygreenboi said...

gad, how can they miss this? those guys in hilfigers are losing it.

faceless said...

she could be sitting over her other leg, like a lot girls do..

Anonymous said...

Maybe anorexic wasn't enough of a weight loss so she removed a leg.

YYC26 said...

I don't think there's any way you can say this is an angle thing. First of all, it would be very unnatural for her other leg to be completely parallel to the guy's legs. Second, look at the clunky shoes she's wearing. What is that going to be able to hide behind?

Anonymous said...

I take stronger issue with that bar or whatever it is making a tangent with her head. I'm wondering, are these two giants?

erik k said...

shes clearly sitting with on her left knee with her leg bent back and her foot under her but

lorrwill said...

this is freaking eerie. Maybe this was for a horror movie that didn't sell (it is actually a 2 headed 3 legged alien) so TH picked it up?

Hi,

This was no mistake.

Alex said...

Am I the only one who doesn't like the perspective in that beam, that actually is going in front of her head?

Admin said...

Don't show this to Paul McCartney. He would marry her immediately! :)

Rawan said...

haha thats just great! just stumbeled across this blog, I like it! I'm majoring in Graphic Design and still have ALOT to learn on PS, but I guess I could use this blog as a what NOT to do when editing images!

Anonymous said...

Her leg is there- she has it propped up on the bench. Her knee is above his right knee.

Anonymous said...

Her missing left leg above his right knee...? When she is sitting on his left, and her right leg is visible? Well, there is definately "something" visible, now, I cannot decide what THAT can be...

Anonymous said...

I like her with one leg. One legged women are beautiful!

Plus, the kind of metal thing appears over her head.
