Nick Cannon becomes the latest "it boy" to flaunt his stuff in the latest issue of Flaunt, the edgy Los Angeles-based fashion and industry bible. The 13-page editorial is entitled "Off the Hook", and, it truly is on many levels. As always, Nick is looking like a million dollars, And once again, photographer Nicolas Wagner—who captured Shemar Moore for the same magazine last spring—uses a brilliant black and white technique. Finally, Nick mentions his recent work in HIV/AIDS education. Apparently, some of the accessories (read: diamond watch) photographed will be sold/auctioned and the proceeds will go to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Above, Nick is tres magnifique in Versace sweater and pant. In the obligatory shirtless Nick Cannon shot, the actor models leather jacket and wool pant by Dries Van Noten.
That crocodile double breasted coat is by Valentino.
Earlier in the summer, we promised to stop teasing the abtastic young'n after he announced his involvement in a new public awareness campaign that urged those at risk for HIV to get tested. If he can flash those abs and a Colgate smile to raise some money for the cause, no complaints here.
More Nick Cannon and Flaunt:

Nick es magnifico l'uomo.

Didn't even know that he was active in HIV/AIDS. Now I have some newfound respect for the boy.
And yeah, he definitely is off the hook.

What a way to start a Monday. A hot young holiday boy with a heart. Rod, why were you teasing him? I could definitely see Nick having some "bicurious" in him, you probably would be his type, lol.

Carl, you aren't the only one who didn't know about Nick's volunteering for AIDS work. That's hot.

flaunt really is a fabulous publication. i just recently discovered it thru this site, it's very fresh.
i love this site! instead of just a shirtless Nick cannon we get the fashion and his new HIV activism.

Nick Cannon is gorgeous, shirtless or not.

Yes, but can he wear a jock strap as well as Jason Tiya? LOL

I respect his work. But his arrogance really kills these photos for me. He's attractive, but not distinctive enough to be so in love with himself. Anybody with his money can have a body like that...it's called a trainer.
But I ain't mad at him for being a man of integrity...just wish he would be more humble.

Flaunt has the Hottest art direction of any mag currently out there.
They do great work.

Nick is definately hot in these pics,I'm really feeling the b&w photos.

Dex, you make a great point. Flaunt had terrific art direction, they're not afraid to take chances. And, they often juxtapose disparate personalities--Jensen Atwood and Diane von Furstenberg in the same issue, for instance.
Also, for Tyler, I think celebrity requires a certain degree of arrogance. Nick looks good, but he's not super flawless or anything. However, he looks absolutely stunning in this editorial and is maturing.
Also, Nick Cannon is helping to raise money and awareness for HIV. We need all the help we can get. So that really puts him over the top in my book.

I think it is nice of him to give back to humanity but personality wise Nick is lost, I think he is doing too much. He is arrogant than nobody business, it is better when other people blow your triumpet than you to blow it yourself, I am a big fan of him, becuase I love his approach to been a rapper. He is not in anyway flawless,He is smart and very business oriented that's about it. He does put on a good show and people buy into his good and innocent image and i respect him for trying to put on a face and make people to believe that, as for church he goes and I happen to go the church he goes to in Los Angeles and I am not going to comment on his church going. But that is nice of him supporting a cause and that give him another credit in my book.
