COVER STORY David Copperfield can attest to the fact that Claudia Schiffer's supermodel status is no illusion. Our cover girl this month is the real thing. As the curtain rises on PLAYBOY'S second annual supermodel issue, we give you Cindy, Kate, Elle, Iman, Tyra, Eva and many more. Here's to the women who make fashion such fun for nonparticipants.
Here's to the photographers. And thanks to Sygma's Dana Fineman for our super
cover. Is our lucky Rabbit ever hair-brained.
