World renowned designer Karl Lagerfeld has contributed to V Magazine’s January/ February 2010 Size Issue. Despite his preference for "skinny models," Lagerfeld photographed burlesque dancer Miss Dirty Martini for Day 4 of the editorial entitled "Coco a Go-Go."
The shoot took place in Coco Chanel’s apartment and features the curvaceous Miss Dirty Martini in sheer tights, ruffly nipple covers and the model dripping in jewels. Oh, and plenty of cleavage of course!
