thanks to everyone who's been posting about wardrobe_remix or featuring fashions and folks from the group in their own blogs or websites. thanks for getting the word out. i am glad that wardrobe_remix inspires you! remember to give credit to the people in the aforementioned photos (if you use them in your blog posts, etc.) and to wardrobe_remix itself. it's good internet/blogging karma! (plus it actually goes with flickr's terms of service and a little thing called copyright!)

remember: you can click on the photo of any of these terrific wardrobe_remix(ers) to learn more about their photo or outfit, explore their flickr photostream, and beyond. all of the photos are owned by the awesome people who are depicted in them, of course!

spread the word!
and see you there!

RIP, adorn!

i found out yesterday that the DIY style magazine, adorn, published by soho publishing, is no more...
so sad.
no one from the magazine told me anything (not that they had to, of course).
i found out the magazine folded by visiting the adorn website yesterday. as you can see, it's virtually non-existent. my curiousity was peaked, and via a little googling, i found a thread that mentioned the magazine's demise in the adorn magazine flickr community. i then emailed some contacts to find out more info...
and suffice it to say, the bad news was indeed confirmed.

***

thus, the remix_redux articles i wrote for the mag featuring select photographs from wardrobe_remix are no more.

thanks again to all the wardrobe_remix(ers) who were featured in the articles i wrote. i could not have done these articles without you, of course!
and a BIG HUGE thanks to adorn for giving me the opportunity to write for them. it was great experience for me, and a heap of fun.

***

also: my sincere apologies to those wardrobe_remix(ers) who were slated to be in the remix_redux article in the (now) non-published spring 2008 issue. had i known anything, i would have passed on the news to you sooner.
