Lunch with Alyssa

I had lunch at Santropol with Alyssa a few weeks ago and snapped a couple of pics of her:








(Sorry for the dusty negatives; I scanned them in pretty quickly yesterday.)

It was seriously ridiculously cold that day if you can't tell! Anyway, Alyssa is currently interning at WORN fashion journal in Toronto. Here's a little description from there website:


WORN discusses the cultures, subcultures, histories, and personal stories of fashion. We strive to embody a place between pop culture magazine and academic journal that opens new avenues in art and fashion theory by hovering where these two ideas intersect, connecting with fashion scholars and artists. We pay attention to how what is worn is made, interpreted, transformed, disseminated, and copied. 

OUR MISSION
  • To show a wide range of beauty, one that includes diversity of culture, subculture, gender identification, sexuality, size, race, and age.
  • To offer provocative thought on fashion and aesthetics in an accessible way.
  • To refrain from polarizing fashion into concepts of “in” and “out,” or “good” and “bad”.
  • To differentiate between personal style and the fashion industry, and recognize that the two don’t necessarily have to align.
  • To answer, always and above all, to our readers and not our advertisers.
  • To celebrate the universal appeal of fashion, outside of time and trend.
  • To have a sense of humor, but not at anyone’s expense (with the notable exception of our own).
