Kate Moss has been confirmed to pose nude in Playboy’s 60th anniversary issue. Hugh Hefner’s long-running magazine will feature the British model on their January/February cover.
The full-frontal shoot will be on newsstands for her 40th birthday in January. Hefner calls the decision to feature the model a “natural” one.
“She’s a worldwide celebrity and iconic and crosses the boundaries from sexual imagery to upscale modeling," he told Los Angeles Times. "It’s a natural for us."
Editorial director, Jimmy Jellinek, also said, “This is a massive global brand. You need a global icon in order to celebrate that -- that was the impetus. You're talking about the face of Burberry, the biggest supermodel in the world on the cover of Playboy. She's the perfect partner for us to help launch the next 60 years."
According to Us Weekly Moss will channel a Playboy bunny on the cover of the iconic men’s magazine. She will wear their signature bunny ears, french cuffs and silk stockings. On the inside, she will go full frontal nude.
Cooper Hefner, the Playboy founder’s son, also took to Twitter to confirm the news:
Kate Moss will be gracing the cover of our 60th anniversary issue this January. It'll be a great issue.
