Cruz Beckham: Born to Be Bad

Cruz Beckham - Born to Be Bad

Celebrity youngster Cruz Beckham, seen here taking in a Lakers game with famous parents David and Victoria Beckham, may be the world's youngest exponent of Worn Free wear.

You'll recall how he electrified the paparazzi by appearing for a play/photo op in his Gram Parsons Flying Burrito Bros. tee a while back. Well, he's at it again, this time in our Joan Jett Born to Be Bad tee.

Of course, this lad was born to be photographed and adored, but he certainly has a bit of his dad's bad-boy appeal, which will undoubtedly grow over the years. In the meantime, he's already on the cutting edge of fashion for his demo.

(Thanks to PopSugar.com for this awesome photo.)

Be a Rock Star for Halloween (at 25% Off)

nobody@vox.com(Worn Free) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 19:35:05 -0700

Steve Ford Panel

You may recognize Steve Ford, the irrepressible proprietor of Decade in Pittsburgh. The photos above, which he kindly furnished, show what he used to turn himself into a rock star using only a couple of Worn Free tees and assorted household items.

And given the cost of a fancy get-up, we advise you to follow his lead and dress up like a rock star this Halloween. It's easy -- and to make it even easier, grab yourself a stylish, comfy Worn Free shirt and take 25% off.

Steve made himself up as Kurt Cobain (in our Daniel Johnston Hi How Are You tee) and Frank Zappa (sporting the classic Radio Clyde shirt); apart from the shirts, his supplies were, he reports, "Girlfriend's makeup and skinny jeans; strong rope; cardboard; spraypaint; cutting tool; wig; Harry Potter glasses." Talk about no-frills. But we think he looks bloody fantastic.

Which rock icon will you conjure this Halloween? Whichever one you choose, take 25% off (use coupon code GHOSTROCK) and, if possible, post a photo on our Facebook page.

Surfin' Rodney

nobody@vox.com(Worn Free) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:01:42 -0700

Here's something we haven't been able to do before: Show you an original photo of a famous person wearing a design, and then a new photo of them wearing our reproduction. In fact, our version won't even be for sale until 2010, but we're so geeked about it we couldn't wait.

Rodney Bingenheimer -- KROQ-Los Angeles DJ, promoter, scenester and L.A. music god, AKA the Mayor of the Sunset Strip, first wore this ultra-stylish, essentially SoCal Surfin' tee in 1980, when KROQ was "the Roq of the '80s" and he was exposing the town to cool new-wave and pop sounds from local bands and international hipsters alike.

He donned the new version of this gorgeous tee to attend a Taschen Books event toasting his old pal Brian Wilson, mastermind of the Beach Boys and epitome of Cali surf culture (though he has never, to our knowledge, mounted a wave himself -- a mere triviality considering his mastery in surfing the curls of melody, harmony and orchestration).

So we're pleased to present Rodney then and now: a major figure in L.A. music history, a patron saint of great independent music and a true gentleman.

Stargate: You Are Here (in Space!)

nobody@vox.com(Worn Free) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 17:16:20 -0700

StargateWF

SyFy has launched a new entry in its Stargate franchise, Stargate Universe, and it co-stars Robert Carlyle (middle) and David Blue (right) as smart people who have something to do with stargates and whatnot. But enough TV trivia -- we're bringing all this up as a prelude to the news that the T-shirt peeking out from beneath Blue's jacket is our John Lennon You Are Here.

Which only goes to show that, to quote another classic in the science-fiction genre, Wherever you go, there you are.

Two other bits of business: sign up for our newsletter now (if, for some sci-fi reason, you haven't already) and get 10% off all orders until Dec. 21. And post rock-star pics of yourself on our Facebook page to be eligible to win a free tee. That is all. Klaatu barada nikto.
