凱特王妃熱帶風情照登《嘉人》封面

What's a magazine dying to put Kate Middleton on its cover to do? That's easy -Photoshop away. There's no doubt that Middleton, 30, would be a major get for a fashion mag - reportedly, both British and American Vogue have tried, unsuccessfully, to get the royal to agree to a shoot. So when it came time to settle on a cover star for their August issue, Marie Claire South Africa took matters into their own hands by photoshopping an image of Prince William's love.

南非8月刊的《Marie Claire》的封面人物、英國王妃凱特·米德爾頓引發了極大關注，向來衣着得體、淡雅大方的她居然一身異國情調的紅裙火熱亮相，實在讓人大(微博)跌眼鏡。原來爲了宣傳南非的設計師，並幫助他們得到世界的認可，雜誌方通過PS讓凱特王妃穿上了南非時裝，大展熱帶風情。編輯阿斯帕西亞·卡拉斯說：“毫無疑問，凱特·米德爾頓是新的世界風尚偶像。我們很榮幸通過人工素材圖向她致以敬意，爲她穿上南非設計師的服裝，把她置於趣味橫生的日常環境。”

Unlike other Duchess Kate photoshop missteps, Marie Claire SA's cover was expressly designed to look as if the future Queen of England had struck a pose for the mag while rocking threads by famed South African designer Clive Rundle. "Kate Middleton is, without a doubt, the world's new style icon," Aspasia Karras, Marie Claire SA's editor, explained of their "hyper-real" issue. "We have honored her with a fan-art tribute, dressing her up in clothes by South African designers and placing her in all sorts of fun, everyday situations."

迄今爲止，凱特王妃從沒有爲任何出版物拍過照片，雜誌方也毫不掩飾這是張PS圖。身爲公衆人物的她究竟該不該像明星一樣成爲雜誌的平面素材，對於雜誌社的此種做法，目前也引來許多不同看法。
