Croydon model in photo shoot blunder
Supermodel Kate Moss is at the centre of the latest airbrushing debate.
It's after she was photographed with her daughter Lila Grace by famed fashion photographer Mario Testino, for the September issue of US Vogue.
A series of wedding photos featuring Moss and her family are the main focus of the edition.
However, in one of the black and white shots, it appears part of nine year old Lila's hand has been airbrushed away.
Campaigners are calling for airbrushing to be banned from magazines as they fear its widespread use is partly to blame for a rise in eating disorders amongst youngsters.
Earlier this year, the Editor of Italian Vogue expressed her distaste for airbrushing, however later admitted that there are very few photographers who don't use it.
US Vogue is yet to comment.
