The Talent Management<\/a> bloggers have reported on an excessive amount of post-production going on in the modelling industry of late, from blending out models\u2019 lines in anti-wrinkle cream ads<\/a>, to erasing fat rolls for magazine covers. But this bizarre Photoshopping story is a new one, even for us.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the latest in a long line of Photoshop-happy retailers would have us believe that having knee-less legs is the hottest new trend in beauty.
\n
\nIn these look book shots of girls modelling the retailer\u2019s latest skirts and shorts, unashamed kneecap haters Forever 21 have clearly been a little heavy handed with the old airbrushing tool for some strange reason.<\/p>\n

Scars, acne, wrinkles, maybe we could understand, but completely blending out a model’s knee contours\u2026 are we missing something here or is having legs as smooth and cylindrical as a green bean sexy? Maybe so, or maybe Forever 21\u2019s models have advanced beyond needing to bend their legs like normal human beings – just<\/em> like Barbie taught us was pretty. What will they do next, blend out their models\u2019 toes?!<\/p>\n

Funnily enough, there\u2019s not much on the firm\u2019s website about their models, other than that they \u201cwork with major modelling agencies in Los Angeles\u201d under the FAQ \u2018Can I be a Forever 21 model?\u2019 Erm, thanks but we think we\u2019d rather keep our knees\u2026and our integrity.<\/p>\n
