The new Huf x Playboy collection
Irriverence, anybody?
November 12th, 2020
Last March, Playboy terminated after 67 years the paper edition of its iconic magazine, moving into the digital world and leaving behind a brand that still resists on the lifestyle front, perfumes, accessories and even condoms. But in the early 2000s, Playboy was also synonymous with clothing - clothing not known for its good taste but which today has loaded with a certain nostalgic aura. And it is precisely nostalgia that the strength behind the collaborative capsule that Playboy has created with Huf to celebrate the beauty of its archive content.
The capsule consists of hoodies, t-shirts and accessories in which Huf's triangular logo mixes with vintage pin-up illustrations, Playmate photos, historical magazine covers and its symbol, the bunny with a bow tie. Highlights of the collection are two button-up shirts with vintage illustrations and a T-shirt depicting Darine Stern, the first African-American Playmate to pose as the sole protagonist for a 1971 cover.
