Here is a preview editorial starring male model Callum Wilson in Candy Magazine. The spread will be part of the magazine’s premier issue and if it hints at things to come, I can safely say that I am getting excited for the issue to come out.
Robbie Spencer styled the effeminate and slim Wilson in various elaborate and beautifully crafted pieces from Christian Lacroix’s haute couture collection. The sumptuous editorial was photographed by Kari Sadli.
