“Some words I live by? Do what you want, when you want, and how you want,” urges Rachel, a model and designer from Arlington, Texas. On location of a pastel-colored set in Dallas, Texas, Rachel poses in pink as the photographer Madeline Northway captures her. “Playboy has shaped me into the wo man I am today, whether I knew it or not,” shares Rachel. “[I’m] honored! [This shoot] is an absolute dream come true. It’s hard to believe I get to share something with so many icons and personal role models.” For Rachel, showing up to every situation and encounter as her whole self is essential. “I’m one hundred percent me at all times,” she says. “What I’m most proud of is being self-made and independent.” Eager to learn more about newcomer Rachel?
