CANDY: A New Uber-Glam Trans Fashion Magazine Launches! Sweet!

Lovely Andy over at Towleroad put up this above gorgeous magazine cover of Madrid-based uber-photographer Luis Venegas' new project, Candy, and I'm in love. The magazine is being touted as the first-ever "transversal style" fashion magazine; which means it's all about transexuality, androgyny, transvestism and more. That may be a cloudy bunch of not-necessarily complementary topics (if we get into semantics), and the results look largely fluffy and less in-depth and/or serious... BUT, I'm loving it.

Watch the gorgeous promo video below. You'll get a glimpse of the major talent involved. Icons like Lypsinka and Joey Arias share page-space with young mavericks like Andre J and Hercules & Love Affair's Kim Ann Foxman. And the shooters are big-time greats like Bruce Weber & Terry Richardson, and the style comes from visionaries like Christian LaCroix, Rodarte and V Magazine's James Kaliardos.

There are only 1,000 issues of this dreamy Candy mag, so scramble and get one now!

Maybe the next issue will feature more FTM topics? Photos by Catherine Opie? And I would live for a huge, multi-page uber-glam spread featuring the likes of Justin Bond, Our Lady J, Glenn Marla and other brilliant NYC trans talents... We'll see.
