Ever since the April '09 cover of Vogue Italia, starring Eliza Cummings, was revealed last week (left), folks have been all too quick to assume that she must have been Photoshopped for the job. Now the British model has spoken out about such claims, what it's like to work with Steven Meisel, and being pigeon-holed as a punk.
"Yeah, I love the cover because it is the real me, I look just like it. Everyone that doesn't know me is saying "OMG Photoshop!" but its not, that's the real me. I love working with Steven [Meisel], he brings out the softer side of me and it is the real me. I am no punk like everyone says. As Tom Jones puts it - "im a lady". Wild girl, haha! Yeah, when it comes to shoots, people dress me as a punk so to show on the camera I change my personality so it shows I'm a punk in the camera."
