Marchesa's Easter Bunnies
The word "Playboy" yeilds with it, a barrage of bog rotten misinterpretations.
Chavs with dirty tramp-stamps creeping behind skanky white thongs, knock off merchandise with half-hearted diamante sparingly applied, floozy-fake-bottle-blondes with as much air in their pumped up breasts as you will find between their ears and a wrinkly old man siphoned with a steady flow of viagra to keep him off the brink of a heart attack.
Yes, the shallow connotations discernibly neighbour the brand name but, like it or lump it, Playboy Enterprises Inc. is an institution that i can't get enough of....seriously.
Iconic names are born by stabbing popular culture with controversy, to leave a lasting wound, and Playboy has achieved this with effortless forth-righteousness, since its inception in 1953. The endowment of the brand is embodied by the prolific rabbit motif, shining brighter and more vigorous than strobe lighting, emblazoned upon everything from people and buildings to a vast array of disposable goods. Nevertheless, the persisting legacy of Playboy scars much deeper than visual emblems, pornographic and sexually explicit material. Interspersed between the illustrious gentlemen's diversities, are high-brow articles by novelists, journalists and notable figures who explore, not only fiction, but also current affairs, political and world issues. Among their most recognised contributors, reshaping the magazine industry and catapulting their own careers, are Ian Fleming, Vladimir Nabokov, John LeCarre and Anne Sexton, to name but a few.
On a more comfortable cosmetic level, however, Playboy gains elevated notoriety from its girls. Alongside the "renowned" parade of breast baring models, are the infamous bunnies who write integral paragraphs within Playboy's growing narrative. Originally conceived as waitresses for the Playboy clubs, these girls were only awarded the coveted position after undergoing strenuous training in which they memorised cocktail recipes, embraced strict mannerisms and adopted the identifiable "bunny perch". These human/animal hybrids were fantastical visions, holding an attraction superior to average women. Created in Hugh Hefner's ideal, they were creatures of perfection whose ample bosom and accomplished figures could entice any man with an "expensive innocence".
The elitist group are, of course, distinguished by a certain outfit, now synonymous with the history of sexual trending. As a prestigious hallmark of the brand, the "bunny costume" is fabricated in luxurious rayon satin, covering a "merry widow" corset which immodestly, yet tastefully, exposes the female form. With quaint tuxedo accessories, bunny ears, fishnet tights and heels, an iconic look was completed to become the first service uniform registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
In an ironic twist of verity, however, these women were far from catalogued sex symbols. In fact, many memoirs have detailed the true heritage of Playboy Bunnies, in which women were uplifted intellectually by their surroundings and thrown into a host of successful, professional endeavours. It is a lasting era of liberation and independence, illusively masked by the brand's superficial inclinations.
From the 1980s cabaret configuration to Roberto Cavalli's 2006 remodel, the bunny costume itself has been privy to a throng of memorable adaptations. Currently, advancing the cotton-tail trend, whilst propelling Playboy into a high-fashion estate, is Marchesa who will unveil their stylish overhaul, next month, in aid of breast cancer and just ahead of the London Club reopening.
Designer, Georgina Chapman has expressed the nature of the rejuvenated look, which will follow the classic corseted silhouette whilst interweaving elements of the pristine Marchesa aesthetic. Embroidered with lace and embellished delicately with roses, the promo sketch is refined and feminine yet sensual and intimate; rendering how Playboy lives, breathes and moves with fashion, gaining cultural headway.
The legacy is illustrious and flourishing with each creative extension. Fashionable forays, addictive reality TV and nice pairs of boobies; Playboy does it all, thriving for almost 60 years, active as ever.
