Free reading period: A look at 8 must-read independent mags and zines
Magazine: Worn Fashion Journal
Location: Toronto
M.O: Worn Fashion Journal avoids a traditionally trend-based formula by creating a platform for thought-provoking opinions that isn’t time or location specific—or tainted by the demands of advertisers. Described as a cross between pop-culture and academic writing, the articles aren’t pretentious or theoretical. Expect a diverse array of material from Issue 12, including thoughts on prints, the identity of queer men and their clothing, and everything you need to know about Lurex. Add photos that don’t represent a static notion of beauty, and it becomes clear that what matters for Worn is the individual pleasure of dressing and its history.
