The sultry Scandinavian model Charlotte Hoyer grabs the viewer's attention in a sizzling spread for the March 2009 edition of Vogue Russia.
In the sensuous spread, Charlotte, who is clad in Dolce & Gabbana undergarments, is laying languorously amongst a group of half-naked admiring men.
The attention-getting and semi-scandalous D & G-sponsored spread seems to be a bit of a reprisal of the recently banned Calvin Klein print ads that caused so much controversy because they were deemed to be too saturated with gratuitous nakedness.
