Are you familiar with the work of Elizabeth Hawes? We were introduced via Worn and promptly fell down the rabbit hole of awesomeness. The New York Times' Alice Gregory has a couple of great articles here and here on this great, beautiful mind and icon of personal style. Although Fashion Is Spinach (1938) is no longer in print, one can read it here at openlibrary.org. Further reading: Radical by Design, by Bettina Berch. The Met has an online collection of her work.

After 10 years and 20 issues of beautiful, inspiring, fascinating articles and editorials on fashion, Worn will be no more. Cheers, my sartorial family.
