Candy Magazine – Signature9 http://198.46.88.49 Lifestyle Intelligence Fri, 31 Dec 2010 00:50:33 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.4 Hot Tranny Best: Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington and Tavi Done In Drag http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/hot-tranny-best-anna-wintour-grace-coddington-and-tavi-done-in-drag http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/hot-tranny-best-anna-wintour-grace-coddington-and-tavi-done-in-drag#respond Thu, 30 Dec 2010 20:27:02 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=17579 Racked spotted this editorial titled The Devil Wears Anna on Frockwriter and we had to share. Originally appearing in one of the first issues of transversal magazine Candy, this is the type of wig and makeup show that demonstrates a bit of originality. Ahem, Kanye West Monster maker, take note.

We think they’re dolls (or good candidates, at least), but drag versions of Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani sitting next to Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington and Tavi Gevinson are pretty fun too. Have to say that there’s one glittery blog star missing from the lineup though: how do you do a tranny tribute and not include one paying homage to Bryan Boy? That aside, there’s something about seeing a version of Anna Wintour with hairy arms that’s endearing.

Candy Times! http://198.46.88.49/style/candy-times http://198.46.88.49/style/candy-times#respond Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:21:32 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=5945 Fashion, in particular fashion shows, are built on the idea and spirit of playing dress-up. To make us dream, transport us and in their most potent form, transform us completely. The new indie fashion publication, Candy, is taking the power and concept of TRAN- to a whole new level: a magazine that is “completely dedicated to celebrating transvestism, transexuality, cross dressing and androgyny, in all its manifestations … Candy is a magazine for everybody. A space for individual freedom, and a publication that pushes people to take on the persona of what they always wanted to be.”

Sound a little too niche? A look at the behind-the-scenes video on their Facebook fan page reveals a far more democratic essence: to celebrate beauty, fashion and style in all their incarnations. It is about having fun, channeling a sense of play and humor all the way: a throwback to the eternal fashion ethos of self-expression and exploration . It is a refreshing, necessary antidote to an increasingly commerce-driven, corporate landscape. And the cover? The 80’s camp classic Body Double by Brian De Palma is practically winking at us.
