Baring it all: Bridget Malcolm has opened up for the first time about her decision to pose naked for Playboy

'A lot of people don't realise that Playboy has been rebranded,' she explained after she modeled in the David Jones Autumn / Winter 2017 fashion show on Wednesday.

'It is no longer porn, they use high fashion girls, so once I explained that and explained the shoot is not soft porn, it is actual fashion, it's fine,' she continued. 

The Perth-born stunner is described in the editorial for the shoot as 'a trained oboist from Australia who favors Tchaikovsky, Strauss and Mahler.'

The location for the spread is a roadside motel and the blonde beauty is positioned inside a shoddy room, roaming around naked as she prepares to get dressed.

She wears only a sparkly bolero jacket in some of the images, Playboy branded lingerie in another set and is totally naked in others.

The proud vegan said the pictorial was 'lighthearted and celebratory'.

'I want to remind people to live each moment in 2017. You don’t want to wake up one day and regret having never truly lived,' she expressed.

She currently splits her time between New York and Los Angeles with her husband Nathaniel Hoho, lead vocalist and guitarist for rock band Walking Shapes.
