I was bummed to read that Lara Stone is suing French Playboy and photographer Greg Lotus, saying that she would never choose to appear in ‘that kind’ of publication.

Greg Lotus isn’t exactly a slum lensman, given his extensive portfolio for Vogue Italia.

We stand by our celebration of Lara Stone’s photos in French Playboy and don’t believe she should worry about her reputation.

Just for the record, several of these French Playboy photos of Lara, including her most nude ones, here posted in their entirely in Private Studio —  were already in Internet distribution at Fashonising.com via Fashion Gone Rogue. The post date was oct. 12, 2009.
