This year Flux wants to help you give the best gift ever: our very own 2013 (Wo)(Men) of Flux calendar. Each suggestive portrait showcases 13 different Fluxers’ roles. Sometimes silly and sometimes naughty, this calendar reveals one thing for certain: Fluxers are hot.

A phenomenon that is especially connected to New York City, we explore the scene precisely before setting it.
