The Candy Book of Transversal Creativity

A book by the visionary publisher Luis Venegas chronicles a decade of his fantastic publication C*ndy

C*ndy magazine was founded by Madrid based editor, publisher & photographer, Luis Venegas in 2010. It was an outlier in the publishing world and garnered all kinds of the attention for its bold fashion editorials and arresting imagery. It was one of the first magazine to focus on the transversal community. C*ndy was doing ‘inclusive’ imagery and casting way before American Eagle and every other Johnny-come-lately decided to jump on the bandwagon. This year the American publisher Rizzoli has released The Candy Book of Transversal Creativity: The Best of C*andy Magazine, Allegedly (March 2020). “Collected in one volume are the most timeless, inspirational, and aspirational pages of fashion, art, culture, make-up, glamour, icons, amazing transformations, and fun.

 

The book is edited (of course) by Luis Venegas and it features a forward by Jefferson Hack, the C.E.O and co-founder of Dazed Media. Included in the book is content and photography from the magazine’s past 12 issues from contributors like Nan Goldin, Ryan McGinley, Jack Pierson, and Ellen von Unwerth, along with writings by people like Amos Mac, Valeria Vegas and Geena Rocero.

 

The ‘Role Models’ cover was one of my personal favorites. It is in many ways, I’m sure, an ode to the famous Hollywood Oscar’s special issues that Vanity Fair was famous for back in the day. C*ndy’s cover features 14 of the biggest trans stars including Laverne Cox, Janet Mock, Isis King, Geena Rocero, Carmen Xtravaganza, Juliana Huxtable and Nina Poon photographed by Mariano Vivanco. The title on the cover reads: ‘The Glamorous women who lead the trans revolution.’ It is a celebratory title (and photograph) that gives these women the rightful and just praise they have deserved for being such visible and empowered members of a movement that is loooong overdue.

 

C*ndy is the kind of magazine that would not have survived, or roamed into the edges of the mainstream were it created in a previous era. Thankfully we are living through better times (in many ways).

 

Luis Venegas should be commended for his incredible contributions to print, he is a true powerhouse of publishing. If you don’t believe me pick up this book, it’s all the proof you will need.
