Models.com presents an exclusive preview: Candy #4

CANDY 4TH ISSUE
SUMMER 2012
THE EXTRA EXTRAVAGANCE ISSUE

When it comes to making a fashion impact in short order, no one can compete with Candy Magazine. The groundbreaking glossy broke boundaries as the first transgender publication and in 3 issues it has garnered a cult-like following in and out of the industry. Afterall, what is better than a taste of candy? With their impressive roster of contributors and edgy editorials featuring the best models, actors and entertainers around Candy presents as bold as vision as we’ve seen. Headed by Luis Venegas, the magazine’s is especially timely today, on the International Day Against Homophobia and rest assured, with the 4th edition they don’t hold back.

A slew of industry insiders came together to create content that is guaranteed to tantalize. Androgynous cover star Tilda Swinton delivers a stellar turn in Xevi Muntane’s glamourous images, while Steven Klein’s erotic portfolio explores masculine romance with a sci-fi twist. We’re sure this is the first male pregnancy editorial you’ve ever seen. The provocative content doesn’t stop there, with fresh edits from David Armstrong – who commemorates the shots Nan Goldin took of him and Juan Gatti – who captures drag’s superstars, also demanding attention. Take a look inside Candy to experience it all for yourself – only in MDX.

    Who knew the day we’d see “pregnant” male models would have come any sooner. This issue is pure edge!

    i like the pregnant-boy idea but i feel ashamed for the model…especially if he’s not gay! all those young boys ended up nude, with their armpits and silly situation! not just in candy but also in his eletric youth magazine
    the people behind the mag are seriously in need of SEX

    I love the irrelevance of gender to fashion in the internal photospread. And what can I say about Tilda Swinton? Other than “Oh, my God, she’s unbelievable!”
