commercial models go, Camille is pretty accomplished — to the point where, if being the centerfold still involved stripping down, you probably wouldn’t see her here. She’s modeled for Louis Vuitton, Dior, H&M, Victoria’s Secret, Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch and others, and has appeared in just about every high-falutin’ magazine you’ve ever heard of. Now, she wants to get into acting. With 150k+ followers, she’s easily on the short list for our collection of favorite Instagram models.
In the issue, Rowe confides that she’s a longtime fan of Playboy, to the degree where she was heavily involved in the direction of her own shoot.
“I’ve collected Playboy magazines from the 1960s and 1970s since I was a teenager. The entire aesthetic and the girls themselves are so classically beautiful, which is what we tried to imitate with my pictorial,” she said. “I gave my opinion on everything; I’m so happy it happened this way. This was my vision, and it’s a proud moment for me.”
The biggest about-face for Playboy (aside from the obvious lack of visible kibbles ‘n bits) is the overall aesthetic. Whereas past issues — even very recent ones — relied on a lot of airbrushing and photoshopping, the new Playboy seems to have a more natural, unaltered feel to it (so far, at least). In a way, it’s a reflection of modern attitudes — on an internet stuffed with bolted on tits and fake weight loss “tricks” and altered “historic” photos, men (and people in general) are relieved to embrace something real for a change.
