In an almost reversal of the Marie Kondo Method, Worn Stories asks why we are attached to certain items of clothing, the ones that we just cannot bear to bin. Based on journalist Emily Spivack’s best selling book, Worn Stories unpicks the psychology behind the clothes we love, from the sartorial sentimentality of family heirlooms to the pieces that have our own personal history stitched into them. Interviewing a diverse selection of contributors including space-bound astronauts and glitter encrusted drag queens, the eight-part series explores the transformative power of clothes, how they shape our independence, contribute to our confidence and communicate our personality to the world.
Jazz is one of my favorite genres of music, I love playing it on a morning where I can sleep in and take my time making breakfast. When I hear it in public, it makes me feel like I’m in a film and as if the song is part of the soundtrack. Jazz just holds so much emotion, even when it doesn’t include lyrics. My music suggestion for you to carry into the weekend is one of my favorite jazz songs “In A Sentimental Mood” by John Coltrane and Duke Ellington. I’ve rounded up a selection of weekend events that’ll get you jazzed up and feeling renewed. From a trip to the zoo to walking through a museum with blooming flowers, listening to jazz music outside to heading over to a market full of creativity whatever you choose to do will hopefully leave you looking forward to what’s to come this spring season. Happy April!
