Brooke Candy dons opulent jewelry pieces for PAPER Magazine's 30th Anniversary edition. The rapper is known for her provocative style sense and daring music video imagery that have made her a fan favorite among underground hip-hop fans.
Gracing PAPER Magazine's September 2014 issue, Brooke Candy is captured by photographer Richard Burbridge's lens and is outfitted by wardrobe stylist and fashion icon Nicola Formichetti.
After first gaining attention for her cyborg-inspired look in the Grimes "Genesis" video, Brooke has followed up with countless song releases and has no plans of slowing down. Her recent single "Opulence" and its artful video are the obvious inspirations behind this image series. The editorial highlights face-concealing jewels and diamond-encrusted statement accessories that few can pull off with the exception of Brooke herself.
