Yes, we know the focus has lately been on our Debbie Harry shirts, what with the sale on all Deborah designs through 7/15 (that's this Wed.); that said, we just had to show you this charming photo of singer-songwriter Leah Andreone in our John Lennon You Are Here tee.
Leah's new record, Avalanche, won't be out until Sept. 1, but you can sample her musical wares at leahandreone.com. Suffice to say she's got a killer voice and some truly gripping songs (including one co-written and sung with fellow WF aficionado Dan Wilson, who has rocked the very same design on this here blog).

Presenting Chad Kroeger of Nickelback in our John Lennon "Home" shirt. This shot actually comes from the video for "Photograph," which can be found on the CD/DVD combo All the Right Reasons. Nickelback have sold, like, a bajillion records -- all without the imprimatur of smarty-pants rock critics, BlackBerry-toting tastemakers or other cultural "filters."
But what about the shirt, you ask? It's an interesting story. Having been told about the place by a secretary at Apple Records, John and Yoko pulled up in their VW bug at the Manhattan restaurant called Home in 1972, dressed up (for reasons that have been washed away by the waves of time) as Chasidic rabbis. Much Wild Turkey was guzzled. John was awarded the original version of the shirt, and he wore it during various live appearances and in the back-cover shot for the legendary Some Time in New York City album.
So: a shirt gets photographed. A photograph turns into a shirt. A guy wears the shirt while performing a song called "Photograph." It all makes sense, especially if you drink a little Wild Turkey. And dress up like a rabbi.
Strumming a guitar and warbling lyrics from your diary while in the vicinity of freshly brewed espresso simply isn't enough. A real troubadour can jump onto any stage and engage an audience on every level.
Which brings us to Matt Nathanson.
This San Francisco-based artist is a terrific songwriter, crafting solidly melodic tunes full of pathos and wit. He's got a voice of real power and a huge emotional range.
And often, prior to reducing an crowd to tears with a heartbreaking ballad, he'll unspool a rambling, hilarious monologue or bust out a riotous cover version of "Jessie's Girl."
In a nutshell: They laugh, they cry, and they can't wait to see him again.
And yes, we're biased, but we also admire Matt's taste in shirts. In this shot (taken Chapman Baehler), he sports our Frank Zappa Radio Clyde tee.
And in this video clip, which gives a fine indication of dude's onstage mastery, he wears WF's John Lennon "This Is Not Here" shirt.
Meet Allan Tannenbaum. He's one of the great photojournalists of our time, and his shots of John Lennon and Yoko Ono are legendary -- so much so that they've fueled a voluminous show at Washington, D.C.'s Govinda Gallery and figure largely in his upcoming book, SoHo Blues.
The Passaic, N.J., native made films, taught photography and filmmaking and, in the '70s, began working for the SoHo Weekly News, for which he shot the Lennon-Ono portraits. Among these is a shot of John in the original Record Plant Studios shirt; as you can see, Allan is pictured in two Worn Free editions originally made famous by Lennon, Home and You Are Here.
During the '70s and early '80s he also produced iconic shots of everyone from Bob Marley to Jack Nicholson (not to mention porn stars, poets, athletes, Studio 54 revelers and even a pic of Woody Allen with Betty Ford). After the demise of SoHo Weekly News in 1982, Allan embarked on a series of adventures abroad, documenting turmoil and change in South Africa, Korea, the Middle East, Africa, The Philippines and South America, among other places. He's living an extraordinary life, and we're grateful to him for documenting it so vividly. But we have a feeling he's just getting started.
Donovan Leitch already has a storied Hollywood career with over 30 film and TV roles (including spots on Grey's Anatomy and Sex and the City); he also served as writer, producer, director, director of photography and, for all we know, caterer on the political docs The Last Party and Last Party 2000. He's additionally a musician, a former Calvin Klein model and husband to Scottish-born supermodel Kristy Hume (whom he married by the bonny, bonny banks of Loch Lomond). Oh, and his dad is another famous Scot, Glaswegian folk-rock icon Donovan.
But this pic of the limelight-friendly Leitch celebrates more domestic pleasures, as he and Hume enjoy a moment at home with daughter Lilac; hubby commemorates the scene with our John Lennon "Home" shirt.
The shirt's graphic first belonged to a Manhattan eatery beloved by local musicians; John and Yoko appeared there one night dresssed as rabbis (long story) and the singer came away with a shirt that appeared, most famously, in a photo on the back cover of the Sometime in New York City album.
As for Donovan's dad? They called him Mellow Yellow. Quite rightly.
It seems you'll be seeing quite a lot of WF shirts on the TNT series My Boys, the sitcom about a career girl and her crazy crew of platonic guyfriends. (Only on TV, right?) The character of Brendan, a DJ undergoing an on-again off-again relationship, will be putting Worn Free tees on again and again. Keep an eye on his manly torso for shirts worn by Zappa, Lennon, Joan Jett and Joey Ramone, among others. And if you can TiVo every episode and then publish a screenshot of Brendan in every single WF shirt ... well, you'll be infringing copyright, so cut it out.
