What light through yonder window breaks? Why, it’s Kate Moss on all fours, dressed in a vintage Playboy Bunny costume for her endlessly touted spread in the magazine’s January/February 2014 issue.
The issue will celebrate the magazine’s 60th anniversary, and will also celebrate Moss’ 40th. She will be naked, not that we haven’t seen that a thousand times before. It’s also been reported that the shoot was styled by Alex White, formerly of W magazine, which would make sense, given that she’s worked with photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for a shoot with Moss before. This image in particular will be previewed in the December 2013 issue.
Playboy is hoping that the issue will be a big hit, and a call back to their classier “vintage” days, hence the very un-Playboy lighting and traditional Bunny ensemble seen here. Coincidentally, in an interview this week on Refinery 29, artist Richard Phillips discussed his classy collaboration with the company in Marfa, Texas – the site of the famed Prada “store” piece – that will be put up in the Dallas Contemporary museum, and continue at Art Basel in Miami later this year.
