Andrés Jiménez
MANCANDY is the fashion-art project of Mexican musician and designer Andrés Jiménez, founded in Mexico City around 2017. The label redefines Mexican luxury through artisanal construction, experimental denim and unapologetically genderless design, producing wide flared jeans, hand-treated tie-dye and LGBTQ+-themed garments that have made it a fixture of the city's queer creative scene. Awarded 'Who's on Next' by Vogue México & Latinoamérica, MANCANDY has expanded into runway shows and a steady international wholesale presence while keeping production rooted in CDMX ateliers.
