Ever since Playboy’s inception, it seem its iconic bunny costumes have become increasingly more tasteless. However, with the opening of the Playboy Club in London on June 4th, Playboy has called upon the ultimate-taste makers, Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, to design a new bunny costume.

“Marchesa is thrilled to be a part of the Playboy London Club launch, and for the opportunity to design a one off Playboy Bunny costume – one of fashion and pop culture’s most iconic emblems, in celebration of the return of this club,” Georgina Chapman, co-founder and designer of the luxury label tells Vogue.

“We’ve taken our inspiration from the original costume but added Marchesa’s signature details, such as hand draping and embroidery, while staying true to the Playboy Bunny’s classic corset silhouette. The result is a modern, yet feminine interpretation of this legendary look.”
