Kate Moss' breast can apparently inspire a person to drink.
To usher in and celebrate the model's 25-year career in the fashion industry, British artist Jane McAdam Freud was commissioned by the London-based restaurant, 34, to create champagne coupes from a mold of Moss' left breast.

Coincidentally, Freud is the daughter of Lucien Freud, who painted a nude portrait of the famous model when she was pregnant.
The champagne glass will have a long stem, and the well of the bowl will be etched with geometric patterns, meant to feature the curvature of Moss' breast when looked at from a certain angle. Moss' signature is engraved at the base of the glass.
The model is said to be a frequent diner at 34 and even celebrated her 40th birthday last January in the high-class, fine dining establishent.
The model will officially launch the glassware on October 8 at the restaurant's Emin Room. Dom Perignon's latest vintage, P2-1998, will be served in the glasses.
The glasses are not for sale and will only be used in 34 and its sister restaurants in London, namely The Ivy, Daphne's, Scott's and The Club at the Ivy.
The inspiration for using Moss' breast as a mold was the legend that the first ever champagne glass, believed to have been molded from the left breast of Marie Antoinette, who was known to frequent social events and parties during her time.
However, some historians doubt the validity of the story.
Despite this non-confirmation, Moss is still absolutely thrilled to be connected to the historical royal character somehow and to be immortalized in glassware.
"I was excited to participate in this project - what an honour to be alongside Marie Antoinette - she was a very intriguing and mischievous character," she shared.
