I ran into Tonja and her daughter Gwenivere at the Adams Morgan Day festival a few weeks ago. Tonja bought her plaid pink pleat and lace-bottomed kilt at Commander Salamander in Georgetown several years ago. She tells me they used to be more punk rock than they are now, but still wears it to her DJ [...]

Back in June and July we introduced Co Co Sala‘s chocolatier, Katie Musser, who constructed a dress out of sweets and brought a cocoa-based Cruella de Vil to life.  In the next print edition of Worn Magazine (coming in October) we’ll share the full story written by Maura Judkis and more photography from the month-long [...]

While we follow the likes of BORF, CON, DECOY and other street artists for Worn Magazine in the USA, I recently returned from a trip to Europe and have never seen anything like the scale of graffiti in the city of Wrocław, Poland.  Not so much for its artistic value, but for its wit and [...]

If you’ve been wondering when the heck we’re going to come out with Worn Issue 2, I’m happy to let you know that we’ve been hard at work all summer preparing to bring you an even bigger and better second issue which will be released on October 19th, 2010.

Shadow Room, notorious as a K Street clubbing hot spot, shed a new light on itself on Friday as host of the D.R.E.A.M.life runway show fundraiser during DC Fashion’s Night Out. Founded by Christina Sturdivant in 2009, D.R.E.A.Mlife provides resources and mentors single mothers in the district to help them achieve their professional goals and [...]

This is John Tsombikos, the artist formerly known as BORF. He’s not the first graffiti artist I’ve photographed who prefers to keep himself anonymous (see GAIA).  However, with all the press John’s gotten over the years he’s become pretty well known in DC.  His arrest in 2005 was documented in The Washington Post and the paper [...]

Continuing our Scottish exploration, I found the Duke of Wellington wearing a traffic cone atop his head outside the Museum of Modern Art (GoMA) in Glasgow. Locals told me it kept getting replaced after removal, so finally the authorities decided to leave it up there.  There’s even t-shirts and souvenirs with his cone-headed likeness available [...]

We’ve gone global. After sweating out X-ray machines in Poland and Scotland, I was pleased to find my film survived the polite indignation of European airport authorities who refused to hand check my emulsions. Needless to say, the English in Wroclaw is quite good but the pierogi is better. As for Glasgow? While several whiskeys [...]
