WORN FASHION JOURNAL

WORN Fashion Journal is a biannual print publication based in Toronto, Canada. OUR MISSION * To show a range of beauty recognizing diversity of culture, subculture, gender identification, sexuality, size, race, and age. * To offer provocative thought on fashion and aesthetics. * To refrain from polarizing fashion into concepts of “in” and “out,” or “good” and “bad”. * To distinguish between personal style and the fashion industry, and recognize the two don’t have to align. * To answer to readers, not advertisers. * To celebrate the appeal of fashion, outside of time and trend. www.wornjournal.com

For no apparent reason other than "just because," Minnesota woman Gail Be (who designed a headpiece worn by Lady Gaga) has spent over three years taking nearly one million beads and crafting them into a 400-pound gown...

The dress boasts a 20.5-foot train constructed with seven miles of beading wire. The gown's train includes 500,000 glass pearls and over 400,000 crystals, including vintage Swarovski crystals...

Embrace just because.
