'Titans of the modelling universe' go full frontal for US glossy

Melbourne, May 20 : The latest issue of V magazine features a racy spread with some of IMG's up-and-coming and star models including Jessica Stam, Liya Kebede, Sasha Pivovarova, Miranda Kerr, Hana Soukupova, and Hilary Rhoda baring all.

Dubbed simply 'Powerhouse', the feature is part one in a series dedicated to the 'titans of the modelling universe'.

Photographed by Mario Sorrenti, it features 30 naked women reclining on crumpled white sheets, reports News.com.au.

Most of the models are over 16 but the photo spread does nevertheless include topless 16 year-old Belarusian Tanya Dziahileva.

Kerr is one of several models who make a valiant attempt to demurely cover their bare essentials - even though she does show her bottom.

Below the images is a short Q and A with an unnamed IMG spokesperson.

"The public conception of the modeling business is that it is ruthless and superficial. What is your take?"
