This is not shitty work, just an image that got published before it got finished. That was the mistake. Just a tight deadline and not enough time to get everything done.<br /><br />I promise you, almost every photo in the fashion business goes through this process.

Look at the other links at the bottom of the post and you'll see that "shaving the thighs" is a bit of a trend.<br /><br />There are two issues here. One is hilariously shitty photoshop.
