Candy Magazine's 'Dutch House Of Extravaganza' is an androgynous editorial that is as eccentric as its name suggests. The image series blurs gender lines and is captured by photographer Philippe Vogelenzang's lens.
Donning a wardrobe of dresses, sculptural capes and all-denim jumpsuits, a model poses in a series of fun and theatrical portraits. His flamboyant fashions are handpicked by wardrobe stylist Ferry Nat and even feature doll-infused jackets that are both creepy and strangely chic.
'Dutch House Of Extravaganza' illustrates Candy magazine's conceptual aesthetic and is an androgynous editorial that aims to break traditional gender stereotypes. The shoot's model star poses in gold makeup and dons edgy earrings that include both hooped and studded styles. These silver earrings are matched with the model's shaved head hairstyle adding a punk-themed element to his look.
