Airbrushing is usually used to shave weight off of already skinny models, but some posers are so skinny that they need help covering up their exposed bones!

Karlie Kloss, who is featured in Numero’s October 2012 issue, was reportedly airbrushed by the international fashion magazine in order to cover up her emaciated looking body and protruding ribcage, which has left the photographer as well as several bloggers outraged for a variety of reasons, and Breaking Celebrity News has the details.

First brought to attention by blog Fashion Copious, the original photo, shot by Greg Kadel, features the 20-year-old model wearing only a peplum leather skirt, posing seductively with her hands behind her head, with every bone in her ribcage fully on display.

However, the image splashed on the pages of the fashion magazine appears to have been majorly smoothed over, adding several pounds to her scary-skinny frame and Kadel isn’t happy about the edited images.

“It was Greg's desire to represent Karlie as she naturally is ... slender, athletic and beautiful,” the photographer’s studio stated in an email to New York Magazine’s The Cut blog.

“That is why he released the images as he intended them to be seen by the public. He is shocked and dismayed that unbeknownst to him, Numero took it upon themselves to airbrush over his original images. Greg stands by his original artwork and cannot stress enough that he not only was unaware of the magazine's retouching but also finds the airbrushing of Karlie unacceptable and unnecessary."
