As the Fringe Festival draws a close, I’m on the hunt for new projects and fun artsy activities to get excited about that aren’t part of my regular life. So far, so good — I scored big time discovering the 24-Hour Zine Thing!
In short, the 24-Hour Zine Thing is a loosely-defined “event” where by the […]
Worn Fashion Journal is in need of a wedding dress!
(for a photo shoot, of course)
The concept involves destroying the dress, so it can’t be a loaner or a rental, and it can’t be insanely expensive. In fact, the cheaper the better. (We’re hoping I can find something for less than $50, but we’ll see.)
This […]
Last week Worn hooked up with Sherwin Tjia of Perpetual Emotion Machine Productions and Amber Goodwyn of Lickety Split smut zine (both past Worn contributors) who do a regular night in Montreal just for slowdancing, and threw a big old Prom. The outfits were fantastic, the making-out was crazy, and the songs were perfect […]
Our Indyish Monthly Mess remains messy, and is especially tricksy when we convert a non-venue into a venue for one night, but it always seems to manage a magic, diversity and glow that I love in it’s every manifestation.
This month, Feb 29 2008, we returned to the private loft Studio 300 for some class, […]

It’s Valentine’s Day.
You’re going to make a fool out of yourself anyway, right?
Isn’t it time you made your deep, tragic, sensitive, painful and crushingly disappointing humiliation PUBLIC?
Isn’t that what Valentine’s Day is all about?
Well - take your heartbreak and make it work FOR you. Better yet, make it work for WORN.
Air your grievances […]
Almost every one of us got our first lessons in style from our mothers. Whether by practical advice or in setting an example, how (and with whom) we grow up has a huge influence on the evolution of our aesthetic tastes. Hell, even the complete absence of fashion effects us somehow.
Do you have a story […]
Oh, how we love Worn parties!
Yes, Worn Fashion Journal’s fifth issue has just been released, and the party thrown at the Main Hall was indeed a testament to just how pretty, fun-filled and fabulous the magazine, and its new baby, really is. As Tessa predicted, the room wasn’t much cooler than the freak 30-degree weather […]
Seeing as yesterday was almost 30 degress with the humidity, tonight’s event at Main Hall isn’t going to be as much a study in contrasts as perhaps originally intended.
Worn Fashion Journal is launching its 5th issue and, as to be expected, is doing it in style. Previous parties were known for their elaborate fashion […]
