fashionologie — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 07:24:10 PDT

>> Models are making some scores stateside with the August 2009 issues - Steven Klein shot Lara Stone as Brigitte Bardot for W and Christy Turlington is headlining Vogue's Age Issue, shot by Annie Leibovitz. But if raw is what you're looking for, Greg Lotus shot Bianca Balti for the June/July 2009 cover of French Playboy - the magazine that has featured Anouck Lepere, Lily Cole, and been photographed by Karl Lagerfeld and Terry Richardson in the past - with little to cover up in, save a bikini bottom and a stretch of net.

Lolita Lily Cole for Playboy France October 2008

fashionologie — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 10:44:25 PDT

>> Just a few days ago, Lily Cole attended her matriculation ceremony at Cambridge, all buttoned-up in scarf, beret, and coat, and now we get to see quite a different side of her, courtesy of the October 2008 issue of Playboy France. Inside, "Sweet Lily" sports lingerie and less for her saccharine sixties-themed editorial, a complement to her teddy-and-me cover for the magazine.

Needless to say, the gallery below is NSFW.

>> BLOWING THE COVER -As promised, Lily Cole's October 2008 cover for Playboy France is here. Inside, 14 pages of a sixties-themed "Sweet Lily" editorial by Xevi Muntane and as Lily requested, accompanying interviews by her friends Jean-Paul Gaultier, Terry Gilliam, and more. [This is Devon, TFS]

>> THE MODELIZER -Lily Cole did her first major lingerie cover for lad mag Arena last May, and she's doing another lad mag cover for October 2008 - wearing even less. Look for the flame-haired model on the front of Playboy France, holding a teddy bear and wearing nothing but a pair of white socks. Inside, there's a 14-page spread inspired by Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson album. [Telegraph]

anouck: it's what's for dinner

>> I don't know if I'm just noticing this or what, but Playboy France is really starting to get fashiony - Karl Lagerfeld shot last October's cover, Lou Doillon was on the March cover (NSFW), and now Anouck Lepere is featured front and center on the June 2008 cover with her new bob, as shot by Rankin. I wonder if it's a coincidence that her fiance Jefferson Hack is profiled inside . . .

To see more of Anouck (literally), go here and here (NSFW).

>> But don't worry, you won't be seeing him nude. Rather, he shot French actress Vahina Giocante for the October 2007 issue of Playboy France.
