Last week, American Eagle's lingerie brand Aerie launched its Spring 2014 campaign, where models are seen as they are - no airbrush and no Photoshop.

One of Aerie's models, Amber Tolliver, sits down with Elle about the ad campaign, which she feels "incredible" to be part of.

The 28-year-old model admits to Elle that she personally likes "a little retouching" on herself in photos.

"I mean, any normal person is slightly insecure about little things on their body, and you can blink an eye and poof it's gone [in retouching], great," Amber said.

However, she made it clear that it's not okay to totally alter a model's appearance to the point that she is unrecognisable and that's the fact upsets her to a point. This is coming from a model who has been retouched in every possible way.

"To recreate a human being using a computer process is a bit of an attack on who you naturally are. Like, if I'm not good enough or if I'm not beautiful enough, then why'd you book me?," Amber explained.

Amber also confesses that prior to her shoot for Aerie, she attempted to do things that would otherwise alter her natural body.

"I was really tempted to go on a juice cleanse, work out in the gym 12 hours a day," she recalled. "I realized that by doing that, I'm essentially retouching without the computer," she added.

"And there's nothing I can do about my stretch marks, like, they're there for life, and like, own them, I'm a tiger, dammit," she stated.

In the end, the non-prepping trick paid off. Her body, along with the other models, were shown as it is, tattoos, pimples and all. And Amber is proud of being part of the campaign.

"It's so incredible to be a part of [this campaign] because young girls see these photos and they're like 'Oh, wait, this is what I look like' or 'I can relate to that, and I can see myself in these clothes'," she said.
