Irina Shayk Goes Nude for Marc Jacobs T-shirt
She showed some skin as the cover star of the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and now Irina Shayk is revealing the rest. The supermodel is the latest celebrity to strip down for Marc Jacobs’s Protect the Skin You’re In campaign.
The pastel tee—which promotes skin cancer awareness—features a black-and-white image of the Russian beauty shot from behind. Shayk looks seductively over her shoulder, covering her breast with the one hand, while the “Protect the Skin You’re In” slogan keeps her bottom half mostly modest.
Shayk joins the ranks of Victoria Beckham, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Dita Von Teese, and Julianne Moore, who have peeled off for the campaign since its launch in 2006.
“I was very honored to be a part of [the] Protect the Skin You’re In campaign, working with photographer Brian Bowen Smith, and joining a long line of iconic figures featured in the past,” Shayk, who is dating soccer stud/former Emporio Armani Underwear model Cristiano Ronaldo, says on her Facebook page.
“The proceeds from sales of the shirts goes to funding research at NYU School of Medicine’s IMCG Group, and has been crucial in the ongoing fight against cancer. What Marc Jacobs and NYU have done is truly amazing, and I was happy to have the opportunity to join them in raising awareness—even if it meant baring all.”
The $35 T-shirt is available at Marc Jacobs stores worldwide and at marcjacobs.com. All proceeds benefit the NYU Skin Cancer Institute.
So go ahead, cover up for a cause.
