Rihanna & Kate Moss Get Frisky For V Magazine

Can we say steamy? Rihanna and Kate Moss play out their dominatrix fantasies in this smoldering Mario Testino shot editorial for the December issue of V magazine. The two beauties outfitted in lacy lingerie, tuxedo blazers, stiletto pumps, or simply their birthday suits, got real intimate for the camera. While the supermodel and singer may not be virgins when it comes to getting undressed for the cameras, together there is no denying that the sex appeal quotient has definitely been raised.

Today high-end logos are once again serving as inspiration for today’s streetwear labels with a number of parody t-shirts poking fun at status logos.
