WORN Wants You To Sing Your Heart Out

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

Was it the son of a preacher man? A devil in a blue dress? You obviously didn’t listen—but now everyone else will.

On Tuesday, February 14th, 2012, WORN Fashion Journal will get your achey-breakey heart in front of a karaoke machine at SUPERMARKET (268 Augusta Avenue).

Don’t just feel the pain, spread it around.

We’ve got a karaoke machine, a microphone, sad, sad, sad songs, and enough bitter tears and sweet liquor to fill a swimming pool. What else could you possibly need to mourn your latest romantic folly?

All proceeds go to the production of WORN Fashion Journal. This year, Heartbreak Karaoke will fund the rent for our new office! We can’t make a magazine without a roof over our heads. Support independent publishing, and sing us a sad song!

THE RULES
$7 Admission
$5 Admission if you’re wearing red or pink
Each song is $1
Jump the line for $10
Celine Dion songs are $5

THE DETAILS
Supermarket
268 Augusta Avenue
Bring on the heartbreak: 9:00 PM
You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here: 2 AM

DRESS CODE

Your heart on your sleeve: mandatory


Pencil Skirts and Crayon Pants

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Last month we invited everyone at City of Craft to sit down and sketch memorable moments that have defined their sartorial selves. The drawings were too charming to keep confined to the office walls, so we felt compelled to share them with you all.

This is Our Last Post About the Black Cat Ball, I Swear

Saturday, December 10th, 2011

It’s been almost a month since our issue 13 launch party, and the photos are still trickling in. (Couldn’t make it? You can buy the issue online here.)



Once again, there are way more on our Flickr.

Want to relive the party (or just pretend you were there)? Check out the video we had projected on the wall—we do ambiance right. The first person to identify all the movie clips shown gets a free copy of the new issue. E-mail your answers to webeditor @ wornjournal.com.

WORN Does Holiday Craft Shows

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

It’s craft show season and WORN is lucky enough to be taking part in two of the best. Come say hi to the lovely Wornettes (and pick up an issue, or two, or five) while shopping for lots of locally handmade goodies.

City of Craft

WORN is sponsoring City of Craft this year and we have a super-fun activity table! Entitled ‘Pencil Skirts and Crayon Pants’ (we know), WORN invites you to reminisce over your most memorable milestone outfits—the fashion triumphs and style-tastrophes of days gone by. We’ll provide the paper and drawing supplies necessary for you to transform your sartorial history into Art. Sounds fun, no? Just come see us on Saturday, December 10 (from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) and Sunday, December 11 (from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) to take part.

Also, check out our own crafty editor’s post on the City of Craft blog to see what she has on her wish list this year (hint, hint).

Movies and Makers

If you live in the east end, you’re in luck: on Saturday, December 17 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., WORN will also be at Movies and Makers, held at the Beaches’ beautiful Fox Theatre. See you there!

Not in Toronto? Can’t make it to these events? You can always visit your nearest WORN retailer or check out our web store.
