The SEO-friendly headlines surrounding the single shot — one in about 25 — of Candice Swanepoel posed modestly but nude for the January issue of Vogue Brazil are frankly more interesting than the fashion editorials lensed by a trio of photographers: Mariano Vivanco, Jacques Dequeker and Zee Nunes. It’s frankly not the strongest editorial composite we’ve seen of Candice — or any other hot model for that matter. Mariano Vivanco’s Vogue Spain April 2013 Candice Swanepoel editorial was far more sensual and intimate.

Fashion Scans Remastered! calls the editorial “one giant Mess.” However, “Candi flashes her boobs in several shots so I’m willing to forgive.” CocoPerez.com writes: “Holy Hotness! Candice Swanepoel Gets Completely NEKKID for Vogue Brazil!!!”

Indeed, boys will be boys — but smart boys knowing that putting the word ‘nude’ in a headline drives page views.

Pedro Sales and Yasmine Sterea style the shoots with a heavy emphasis on swimwear. Makeup is by Henrique Martins and Ayami Nishimura; hair is by Reilson Moreira and Ward Stegerhoek.
