Calling All Cool Kittens: The Black Cat Ball Is Coming

A pawsitively purrfect party to celebrate the launch of Issue 15

By: Haley Mlotek

On Saturday, November 24, WORN Fashion Journal will get your inner kitten out of the alley and onto the dance floor with our Black Cat Ball. Bring out your best ball style in black and white and watch as fashion comes on little cat feet. Bring a date or just walk on your wild lone.

If luck is a lady (or at least not a jerk) you’ll get a shot at our raffle. We’ll be offering purrecious prizes from:

The Beguiling
Cake Beauty
Drawn & Quarterly
Freedom Clothing Collective
Little Brother Magazine
Little Island Comics
Lomography
Manic Panic
MWL Jewelry
OSC Cross
Pinky’s Nails
Scarffaces
Shameless
Soapwalla
…and more!

Tip the scales with extra raffle tickets for just $1. Want to frolic with fellow felines? Our cat ear headbands will have you meowing for more.

And when you’re done with the madness, move onto the magic. We predict you’ll get your whiskers in a twist with an eclectic mix of highly danceable oldies and favourites with WORN’s own Teddy the K.

Visit Us At Bloorcourt’s City of Craft This Saturday

By: Anna Fitzpatrick

Saturday August 18th, WORN will be selling our wares at the Bloorcourt Festival in Toronto from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Keep your eyes peeled for our booth on Bloor Street, between Dovercourt and Delaware, where we will be peddling our latest issue, subscriptions, back issues, and special merch.

We will be there with bells on (not literally, that might be annoying), so come visit. The vendors are plentiful, WORN is in good company: scope out yarn goods from Scarffaces and Holly Knitlightly, feminist prints from Dot Handmade and adorable paintings of colorful kitties from Queen of the Cats.

What better way to send off summer? See you there!
