Just arrived: Worn Fashion Journal, an alternative to the mainstream fashion magazine. Instead of concentrating on trends and pushing products, it explores the concepts and ideas of clothing and explores fashion from a cultural, historical, political, personal and practical point of view. The spring/Summer issue Worn #8 features a lot of footwear! Articles about sneakerheads, Vivier & Belle du Jour, John Fluevog talks about life, design, and the joy of being authentic, illustrated and absolutely incomplete but utterly delightful glossary of shoes; The Art and Sole Project; interview with shoe collectors and the curator of the Bata Shoe Museum, Elizabeth Semmelhack, discusses sex, power, and status in the evolution of elevation. And: “Everything I Know About Fashion (I Learned From My Mother)”; “This Shit Ain’t Free” - Bella B. steps out with a high-end pedicure; “Material Girl” - When it comes to our relationship with leather, we’ve been faking it for a long time and Well Heeled - Esmé engages in boot repair espionage.
