If you’re in Toronto this weekend, stop by the complexgeometries sample sale for some deals and to say hi to the wornettes working.

On a lovely day this past summer, Kate “Copy Editing is My Life” Schweishelm, photographer Alyssa K. Faoro and I piled into a car and drove to Cambridge, Ontario, to talk to Jonathan Walford and Kenn Norman about their dream of opening a fashion museum. (Pulling a Museum Out of a Hatbox, WORN Issue 9).
Alyssa and I were there for pictures - the fun part - but work came first. While Kate interviewed, we waited…

In January we shot one of our Issue 10 photo spreads with Lisa Kannakko, inspired by food and fashion! The proofs are looking good, but you’ll have to wait and see. I don’t want to give too much away, but I will say it involves a chicken.

On a steaming hot Monday in Toronto’s High Park, a bunch of Wornettes and friends got together to pay tribute to 3 notorious girls who gather clues and solve crime, all in swishy skirts and lacy gloves. Issue 9 is starting to come together and I can shamelessly say I think it’s going to be the best pages yet, not the least of which is Esme Wornette’s brilliant adaptation of the Nancy Drew mysteries. Just a little sneak peek at how I spent my Monday…
Our make-up columnist Bella B. (who is quickly becoming our regular photoshoot make-up artist too) creates some dewy little ladies.
Events intern Chelsea got wrangled into being our George.
Esme’s darling little sister was our Bess.
Wearing comfy shoes for as long as possible!
Look at those cute plaid boots!
Sore feet!
Cast of lovelies, clockwise: cute blonde girl with bike who held a reflector screen, make-up artist Bella B., Chelsea as George, copyeditor Kate doubling as stylist assistant, Zoe as Nancy Drew, Simone as Bess, showrunner of the entire shoot Esme, photographer Lisa, brand new intern Valentina, (and me behind the camera).
Were you a fan of Nancy Drew fashion as a kid?
