As Playboy prepares for its New York City residency with a special Playhouse popup in Soho – a keystone element of its PRIDE IS GOOD initiative – the company announced a very special collaboration with Moschino to celebrate WorldPride.
Playboy X Moschino’s edgy unisex sportswear collaboration creates eight limited edition products in which the brand’s iconic logo is transformed by Moschino from “Playboy” into “Gayboy,” reflecting both brands’ enthusiastic stance on supporting inclusiveness and fighting for LGBTQ rights.
The Playboy X Moschino PRIDE IS GOOD collection will be available beginning tomorrow at Moschino.com as well as in the Moschino flagship stores in Los Angeles and New York and at Playboy’s Playhouse which opens to the public on Thursday, June 20thand runs through June 23rd at 150 Wooster Street. 100% of Playboy’s net proceeds from Moschino merchandise sold at the Playhouse will benefit The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ youth.
The Moschino collaboration marks the first time in recent memory that Playboy has allowed its globally recognized logo to be changed. Moschino Creative Director Jeremy Scott said, “Getting to do a twist on the iconic Playboy logo and support a crucial cause at the same time…. How could I say no?!”
This isn’t the first collaboration between Playboy and Moschino. The two brands came together for Moschino’s Resort 2018 collection with a line of apparel and accessories featuring the ever-popular Moschino Toy adorned with the iconic Playboy Bunny accessories.
