I have contributed articles for Observer, Racked, Denim Dudes, The Hairpin, XO Jane and others. I was also founding member and senior editor of Worn Fashion Journal, an independent fashion zine that published twice annually for 10 years. Worn was foremost a glossy, large format print zine without much of an online footprint, but highlights including 7 of my features are reproduced in The Worn Archive published by Drawn & Quarterly
