Toronto, 1979
1979 11 PM Nude Sylvie Garant by Richard Fegley 0022
November 1979 Playmate Sylvie Garant steams up the set of her pictorial shoot with photographer Richard Fegley. The French Canadian certainly wasn’t the first or the last Playmate to sketch the famous Rabbit Head on a prop (or [body part](https://playboycomstg.playboy.com/read/in-living-color), for that matter) while on set. Designed by Art Paul, the Playboy Rabbit Head was created in less than an hour in 1953 and has become one of the most recognized logos in the world. Paul, PLAYBOY’s founding art director, was Hugh Hefner’s first hire and worked alongside him for three decades. Read more about Paul and his contributions to Playboy [here](https://playboycomstg.playboy.com/read/the-man-behind-playboys-famous-rabbit-head), and check out Garant’s full pictorial at [Playboy Magazine](https://playboycomstg.playboy.com/magazine).
