I'm interviewing a number of people for whom garments have 'failed' or where you've experienced a 'wardrobe malfunction.' Remember what happened to Janet Jackson at the Superbowl in 2004? It could be clothing that misbehaves--dresses that split at the side, buttons that come off at inopportune moments, and stains that mark favorite sweaters, reminding you forever of something you'd rather forget. Or, perhaps it's a moments when you feel out of context or wrong because of the clothes you wear (for instance wearing the wrong garments at a wedding/funeral/party or wearing the same as someone else).
Do you have a story you'd like to share? If so, please respond to this post with a few sentences about your clothing mishap. (Please let me know if you still have the garment, which is preferable, but it's not necessary.)
This is a project for a magazine and the stories will be edited by Emily Spivack, author of the New York Times best-selling book Worn Stories (www.wornstories.com). Emily will follow up with you to gather additional details about your story before it's included in the project.
