Emily Agnes, a.k.a. Emily Florence Shaw, is best known as the first British Playboy Playmate within a decade. Emily, who was born and raised in Windleshar in Surrey, went to one of Britain’s most expensive and well known preparatory schools – the Hurst Lodge School in Ascot.
Emily started modeling at the age of 19 when a friend who was training to be a makeup artist wanted Emily to model and photograph for her portfolio. Emily realized that she loved being in front of a camera and signed with Girl Management, a glamour agency. She appeared in FHM, the Czech edition of Maxim, and started to work with photographers like Mike Dowson and Erik Tranberg.
Once she sent photographer Tony Kelly pictures of herself, Hugh Hefner asked Emily to visit Los Angeles for a Playboy test shoot. He pictured her as a very private secretary in a very captivating set, making her the  Playboy’s Playmate of the month July 2014.
