 The good news is The Worn Archive is now available. The bad news is no more future Worn journals. After 10 years and 20 issues of beautiful, inspiring, fascinating articles and editorials on fashion, Worn will be no more. Cheers, my sartorial family.

Thank you for diversifying and enriching the fashion landscape! I'm a Wornette. You're a Wornette. Wornette's Forever!  What do you do with your broken needles? No proper sharps disposal?
