Playgirl first launched as a subtle take on nudity in 1973.
What was once an archive of spreads of naked men and journalism angled towards women and feminism, with literary pieces penned by Maya Angelou, the 70s title has undergone a reiteration for 2020, and it's as breathtaking as it is thought-provoking.Īs usual, Sevigny needs very little to exude sexiness, and here, as she gazes down Sorrenti's softly-lit lens, the handlebar moustaches and plethora of penises of the heralded title feel a long way away from the original format of the magazine.
