Brightest Young Things


Hey there, it looks like the plucky, talented and seemingly unstoppable WORN Magazine team has powered through another issue, and this upcoming Friday with a big party @ The Art Museum of The Americas they will celebrate doing AGAIN (and, if their track record is anything to go by, doing it better than last time) what most people said could not be done: publishing a real, live independent, ad free fashion magazine in DC. Kudos all around.

Since it is ISSUE # 3 we have 3 individual tickets to give away (each is worth $20 and includes An open bar including Cava by Freixenet and vodka by Smirnoff, a copy of issue 3 ($10 value), DJ, Live set by the Honeyguns, and access to the entire museum and the current exhibit "Corridor" of Washington and Baltimore artists). So yeah-a pretty amazing deal/night.

To enter to win, leave a comment telling us who (and their style) should WORN MAGAZINE FEATURE IN THEIR ISSUE #4. We'll notify the winners by 9am Friday morning. GOOOOOOOOOOO!

In the meantime, we bring you:

3 of Worn Staff's Favorite Moments from the Making of Issue 3

Emma Fisher, Copy Editor
1. Listening to two hours of Patrick McDonough and Kenny George's voices slowed down to half time so I could transcribe them was hilarious.
2. Making an impromptu studio on Nicole's roof in the freezing cold!
3. Seeing the entire magazine come together after working so hard at it.

Worn Magazine models Sahar and Marina get a laugh as our intern Ramar tells them to imagine a tampon commerical on the set of the women's fashion shoot.

Merin Guthrie, Style Editor
My favorite moment: So we're doing the men's shoot. Outdoors. And its hovering just below freezing. Our models are amazingly good sports, but they are starting to shake. Their manly reserve is wearing off and they are desperate to get inside as much as possible. Bathrooms breaks are getting longer and it's likely because the heat ducts are in the bathroom. Of course, we'd like them outside to take the money shot, so they gamely do the same group walk over the same frozen, ice-covered patch of alley twenty times. Finally, Aly is shaking so hard that I ask him if I can get him something, anything. He looks at me meekly and asks: "are there any bagels?" Cue me feeding him bagel (with cream cheese) between shots for the next twenty minutes. Stylist as den mother.

Merin Guthrie, Worn Magazine style editor delivers a piece of bagel to our model during the men's photo shoot.

Worn Magazine models, Ruddy, Ramar, and Aly celebrate the last shot of the men's fashion spread after working hard in frigid temperatures.

Joshua Yospyn, Photographer
Katie Balloons came over to my house with a dress and giant hat made out of air-filled latex. (We used the hat, not the dress, for the shoot.) You take one look at these things and you think they're worth hundreds of dollars. They're amazing. Especially after you watch her make one. Yet after we wrapped, she insisted on giving me both the hat and dress, telling me I should give them to someone who needs them. At first I thought, "I need them." I had no idea why. I just needed them. So they sat in my house, shrinking and softening by small margins each day that passed. Katie and I were e-mailing about the magazine and she expressed disappointment I hadn't given the dress to anyone. So a few minutes later I found a wire hanger, went outside and hung it next to a sign that said, "FREE DRESS." It was gone within seconds. The girl in the photo took it and said she was going to turn it into a giant hat for a Mardi Gras party. Today, three weeks after our shoot, I still have the other hat. It's gone from adult size to child size. I'll give it to some kid on the street tomorrow.

A great person to feature would be the author of the DCStyleIsReal blog. Her nom de plume is Chloe, but her real name is Haley Fults. She has a keen sense of style and a passion for exploring and promoting DC culture, especially local enterprises.

Yea for Kimberly Wilson!

Check out TranquiliT by Kimberly Wilson- her bamboo rayon organic material is so chic and soft to the touch! I love her pieces which you can layer and wear to yoga or traveling. Plus a portion of the proceeds go toward planting trees.

Check out her website at tranquilit.com or visit her yoga studio Tranquil Space in dupont circle to try the gorgeous pieces on for yourself ! I practically lived in a bandeau black one piece with flowy legs last summer- I dressed it up with sexy sandals and jewelry or sown with flip flops and sunglasses. It's the ultimate versatile wardrobe essential!

no-it's absolutely a-ok, i just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that everyone posting the same person's name on this is counterproductive to winning tickets. BUT-i am glad there is all this love for both WORN and Kimberly floating around and I hope everyone has a great time tonight!
