ICE Magazine - Issue 3 (2026)

ICE magazine goes to Rio de Janeiro for the magazine’s first international edition 🇧🇷

A SPACE FOR WOMEN BY WOMEN

First launched in 2024 ICE Magazine was born from Renell Medrano’s desire for a magazine centering women. Looking at what existed on newsstands, the photographer couldn’t find a magazine that celebrated women and was–crucially–created through the lens of a woman, for women everywhere. Not guided by stereotypes, or the male gaze, or what society deems acceptable or in fashion, but something real. Unable to find anything that spoke to her, Renell took matters into her own hands, and ICE Magazine was born. Issue one’s visual direction was loosely based on a subversive take on 70s softcore men’s magazine Players and was guided by a spirit of play, exploration and sensuality, celebrating women who are unapologetic, magnetic and entirely their own. Each issue is shot in a new city, ultimately creating a global map of women taking ownership over their own image. Issue one was shot in New York City—Renell’s hometown–and captured the nuance and grit of New York’s ICE Girls. Issue two moved to Atlanta and now, for issue three, Renell has taken ICE Magazine international.
