Worn Magazine’s mission is to to bring greater awareness of local fashion and art to the District. We do this mainly through photography, so it’s fitting that we also feature local photographers who are teaming up with local designers to bring a fresh perspective to their designs and foster a spirit of collaboration. On that [...]

Before working the Activation closing party, I stopped by Conner Contemporary Art to see my editor-in-chief at “32 under 32,” an art salon hosted by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities that showcased recipients of their 2010 Young Artist Grant Program (Worn Magazine is funded in part by a grant from DCCAH).  Nicole [...]

The story of TWEE first broke with fellow photographer Tracy Clayton’s phone interview posted on ReadySetDC.  I already had some images of TWEE’s posters on 14th and U Streets, but I finally got a window into this tagger’s lovable “badass” personality because of Mr. Clayton’s deep throat connections to chase down the artist.  Calling Shepard [...]

I caught up with illustrator Elizabeth Graeber after the Seersucker Social and was curious how she interpreted the event (I’m 0 for 2 when it comes to attending dandy rides in DC, but I have a legitimate excuse this time).  Worn Magazine editor-in-chief Nicole and other photographers like Max Cook captured the moment with their cameras, but [...]

For the past three weeks we’ve been following Katie Musser, chocolatier at Co Co Sala, as she prepared for Sweet Charity‘s Des Alpes Chocolate Fashion Show.  Hosted by The Heart of America Foundation and Albert Uster Imports, this one-of-a-kind charity event raises money to supply books for metro DC schools and libraries.  Katie’s chosen theme [...]

This month, Worn Magazine has partnered with the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities to bring you Art 202 Journal “32 Under 32,” a celebration of 32 Young Artist Grant Recipients in 2010. As Editor-in-Chief of Worn Magazine and a Young Artist Grant winner myself, the DCCAH approached me to create a Worn Magazine photography spread that [...]

Last night I visited the Wonder Emporium, a digital feast in the same warehouse spot that hosted Cherry Blast but organized by the DCDesignBabes and Graham Jackson and David Fogel with Eighty Eight DC.  Less Peeps and more beeps, but still with plenty of DJs and dancing, the Emporium featured a range of digital interactive art installations such [...]

Join Worn Magazine for an intimate rooftop cocktail party complete with Punch & PBR to help support our fall issue.  Enjoy delicious summer cocktails by master bartender Lukas Smith from Restaurant Marvin, enjoy all the Pabst you want, dance to music by DJ Keenan Orr and get a free copy of Worn Magazine’s Spring/Summer 2010 [...]

My first post on this retro Shangri-La stayed within Hampden’s Glamour Lounge, but today we hit the street for several portraits. Honfest was initially described to me by Elizabeth Graeber, a DC-based artist who’s illustrating a guide to Baltimore (see here).  I can’t thank her enough, because it lived up to every expectation.  Plus I enjoy [...]

When Nicole told me FoBoGro agreed to sell Worn Magazine, we were both excited to have a presence on the George Washington University campus (she’s a GW alumni and our intern Raffaella just finished her freshman year there).  The store’s three partners and staff are all under 30 but the history of this building goes back [...]
