Playboy magazine has featured its first ever transgender playmate centerfold in its November issue, a move that the model hopes will pave the way for "all women — trans or otherwise — in fashion and other sectors."
Ines Rau, a French fashion model who was featured nude in a 2014 issue of Playboy and has previously worked with Balmain and Vogue Italia, is the first transgender model to appear as a centerfold in the magazine's 64-year history.
"Every woman's beauty deserves to be celebrated," Rau, 26, said in her first interview to the media about the feature.
