WORN FASHION JOURNAL

would like you to be our date at

SECONDHAND PROM

The WORN Archive Toronto Launch Party

Seven years. Fourteen issues. Dozens – maybe hundreds - of Wornettes. That’s what it took for WORN and Drawn & Quarterly to publish The WORN Archive, a collection of WORN Fashion Journal’s best content from the very beginning.

WORN Fashion Journal is thrilled to announce the Canadian release of The WORN Archive: A Fashion Journal About The Art, Ideas, and History of What We Wear. At just over 400 hundred pages, The WORN Archive is a veritable treasure trove of articles and editorials that all prove the importance of fashion – whether as a personal, historical, or political object. And now, it’s time to party like school’s out for summer.

Wear whatever you want - prom attire preferred, but not required. Got a floor-length ball gown? Bring it! Never leave the house without your Converse? Wear 'em!

Cut loose with the vintage tunes of DJ Teddy the K. Once you've worked up an appetite with your choreographed dance routines (I see you, Freddie Prinze Jr.), treat yourself to handcrafted treats from Bunner’s Bake Shop.

Pull a Pretty in Pink by making your own outfit, or coordinate with the Romy to your Michelle. Spicolis, show off your brand new Vans. We want to see what a Secondhand Prom looks like to all Wornettes!

Better run home, your curfew is: 2:00 AM
