Saturday Night of the Dead

Posted by Liam

Saturday night Halloween. Look out. For years, different demons, aliens, and Chris Angel have been biding their time, waiting for this night to sizzle your pumpkin. With parties this major, I've decided to post a mix for those of you looking to stomp your claws; but mummies beware! Too much sweating, and you'll be paper mache.

Click HERE for Kingdom's exclusive mix for lower-end-spasm. Just like the punch bowl, this thing is full of hollow bass, filtered synths, and pitched-up trills by some classic house heavies. Enjoy!

Listen and Leave (everything behind)

New! From our friend's at God's Prey comes mix VII, "The Night Marchers". As usual, this one is very eclectic, cohesive, moody, and awesome. Get it for yourself HERE. Also, check out their BLOG.

Carl on BT

Posted by Liam

Last Thursday morning, Carl sat down with Suzanne Fox at Breakfast Television to talk about jackets of different cuts, fabrics, and functions for both men and women. Besides showing pieces from Worth, Carl pulled from several Calgary boutiques, offering viewers a range of items from every price-point. Nice work Carl, and thank you to our models who were up before the baristas to aid us in the engagement.

Also, we'd like to congratulate Arlene Ladner (Carl's sister) on her write up in last Saturday's Calgary Herald. Arlene, who founded the interior design company Bronco Gray, recently designed for Calgary Flames' player Cory Sarich.

Fashion Illustration

Posted by katie

In a world full of endless options it's easy to forget that clothes don't just magically appear on the racks. In fact, most collections make their debut from pen to paper. Fashion illustration is an art unto itself that ranges from the most abstract outlines to highly detailed drawings. For an unprecedented peek into the sketch books of your favourite designers check out, Fashion Illustration By Fashion Designers. Here are a few of my favourites:

New Arrivals: TOBIAS LUTTMER

Posted by Liam

Recently, Calgary artist Tobias Luttmer stopped by and dropped off some of his new belt buckles. Considering the scale of his metal and stone sculptures, these belt buckles, which are a nice example of his work, are both manageable and functional.

New Arrivals: TIMO! WALLETS

Posted by Liam

A dear friend of mine once carried such a bulging wallet, that it put his back out! Right before Christmas!

Maybe it wasn't his monster wallet which ceased/seized his holiday doings, BUT it probably didn't help. Anyways, new at Worth are timo! wallets; the ultra-slim, really tough, and nice-looking wallets for you to wrap around your $'s

Also, you can check out their blog HERE , then you can look forward to this spring when we'll be carrying timo! clothing.
