You have to hand it to Playboy France: while its US counterpart continues its slide into the realm of utter tackiness, the French edition keeps coming up with the goods.

First there was Karl Largerfeld’s photoshoot for the magazine, one soon followed up by Anouck Lepere’s spread (no pun intended). It was, however, Lily Cole’s nude shoot that proved without a doubt that Playboy France wants to be seen more as a fashion title then a top-shelf, men’s magazine.

And the November 2008 edition is no different. Their centrefold? Model Lydia Hearst.

Playboy France isn’t Hearst’s first encounter with the ever blurring line between fashion and nudity; she also featured in a shoot for Myla Lingerie and has walked down the catwalk in next-to-nothing.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
