A few months ago, my print-obsessed self saved some old copies of New York Magazine from a trash can. The ads I found inside were either too gorgeous or amusing to keep to myself, so I thought, who better to share them with than the WORN audience?

Parents as a species have always had a bad rap for the way they dress, but for as long as I can remember, I’ve seen my mom and dad as quite the sartorially savvy couple. One always seems to compliment the other, and no matter what they’re wearing, they fit perfectly together. When I was home a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon an album of photos from early in my parents’ marriage. I can safely say one thing: my parents are cooler than yours.
Apparently parents have been on the brain at WORN. Check out Lisa Kannakko’s photo shoot in issue 13 for more hip parental styles captured on film. (Just a warning: there will be Mom jeans.)

Pop quiz! What can you do once you’ve finished reading the latest issue of WORN? Why, read about WORN, of course!
If you grab the latest issue of 10 Magazine, you’ll see WORN being featured prominently in “The Real Deal,” an excellent article by Richard Benson about independent fashion publishing. While the piece focuses on the print version of our magazine, they also compliment our blog, making our web editor (yours truly) blush.
Sadie Stein over at The Paris Review (ooh la la!) says that she is “quite enamoured” with WORN and finds issue 12 to be “a total delight.”
Fashion Magazine picked us as one of their 8 “Must Read Independent Mags and Zines.” As they put it, “[W]hat matters for Worn is the individual pleasure of dressing and its history.” Well, what can we say? We try. We try really, really hard.
Over at the Link, Concordia’s independent paper, Sara McCulloch interviews our own director of fact checking and blog copy editor, Stefanee (er, Stephanie) Fereiro. They talk internships, advertising policies, and getting paid in DVD rentals.
And speaking of DVDs, you’ve probably now seen Daniel Wornette’s wonderful compilation of all the outfits Cher wore in Clueless. The rest of the internet watched it as well, and it was given props by The Hairpin, Videogum, Rolling Stone, the Huffington Post, NY Mag, Jezebel, the Gloss, Bust, Elle, Elle UK, Glamour, Racked, Toronto Life, Styleite, Nubby Twiglet, Meg Cabot, and a million different tumblrs. Naturally, we are all excited to see what Daniel is going to do for his next blog post. No pressure.

When I first started writing these Twin Peaks Style posts, I thought I’d have a fairly easy time choosing which characters to look at and how to look at them. First I wrote about the way Audrey Horne and Josie Packard use clothing in attempts to hide their true colours, in turn revealing more about themselves than they could have ever imagined. Then I looked at how Special Agent Dale Cooper’s wardrobe represents his fear of the past and his attachment to the town of Twin Peaks. But now what?
It seems only natural that for my third and final post in this series, I should study another character — maybe Donna Hayward or Lucy Moran — but I just can’t do it. This series (much like Twin Peaks itself) can’t go on forever, and there are so many characters whose unique and complex wardrobes I’d kick myself for leaving out. So, on that note, I’m leaving you with a round-up of sorts. I’ll miss obsessing over these images and outfits just like I miss standing up and turning on all the lights in the house after each gut-wrenching episode. But, as they say, all good things must come to an end.
LUCY MORAN: THAT’S MOR-AN, NOT MORON
“All men in the world should be taken to a desert island and forced to eat sand!”
DICK TREMAYNE: LUCY’S EX-LOVER AND PROFESSIONAL IDIOT
“I say! I don’t believe we’ve met. Richard Tremayne. Horne’s department store. Designer fashions.”
DONNA HAYWARD: THE OLD BEST FRIEND
“As much as I love you, Laura, most of the time we were trying to solve your problems. And you know what? We still are… You’re dead Laura, but your problems keep hanging around!”
DOCTOR LAWRENCE JACOBY: THE PSHYCHO(THERAPIST)
“Laura had secrets and around those secrets she built the fortress that, in my six months with her, I was not able to penetrate.”
SHELLY JOHNSON: THE DINER’S MISTRESS
“Do you want some more pie? A whole pie?”
And last, but certainly not least…
LEO JOHNSON: THE SCARIEST MAN YOU’VE EVER SEEN IN A COSBY SWEATER
“Leo needs a new pair of shoes.”
