Event Details:
On September 27 We'll be hosting the Rock Your Wear Gala at Club Cherry located at 417 St. Pierre in Old Montreal.
The club's new owner, Nelson Dias, (incidentally, he is also part owner of Rage magazine) has re-invented the venue and has made it into something quite unique. It has a very European sexyness to it, what with it's recessed "banquettes" and darkly-lit private backroom areas.
All the details for the event are now confirmed. We have DJ Kobal (Visit his Myspace) who will be on hand providing us with his sonic skills.
We also have a breakdance crew sponsored by Cafe Graffitti who will be putting on a show for us.
Last week we asked Astwo to put on a live painting exhibition throughout the night with the painting up for sale right after the show. We'll be posting the painting for sale on the Wordans website after the party. Astwo is an incredible artist who comes from the Graff scene. You should really come by and check him out doing his thing live.
During the VIP Cocktail hour we're offering an open bar and sushi platters will also be served (courtesy of our sponsor Miso Sushi). Hype Drinks will be attending to hand out special gift packages to all the invited guests.
For those of you wanting to RSVP your invitation and get on the guestlist all you have to do is email us at contest@wordans.com with your personal details and the word "RSVP" in the subject line. We'll call you to confirm your RSVP request. the Cocktail hour is only open to 100 people so if you're interested in making an appearance let us know!

Becoming a Wordans Designer
A question I get asked alot is "Why have a contest?"
Since Wordans.com is Launching soon we felt that the Contest would be a great way for us to gain momentum in the Montreal scene, while at the same time developing and strengthening our ties with the local artistic community and establishing our credibility in the market place. All designers who register for the contest can choose to be part of the Wordans Design Community once the official website goes live on September 15.
Wordans designers have access to their personal online boutique storefront which they can customize to their liking and all designers can set their own prices and choose their own profit margins on t-shirts/garments with their designs on it. So you choose what you want to charge on a design by design basis. All designs are printed with eco-friendly, water-based ink on cotton direct to garment technology.
What’s more, designers retain full copyrights on every design they submit. This means they're free to do with their designs as they wish. Take them down, sell them to someone else, or publish them, whatever. We only ask that designers allow us to promote their t-shirts in the Wordans Marketplace and we keep a percentage of the t-shirt sales for ourselves to cover our operational costs as well as a retain a humble profit . It is a very accommodating arrangement.
We’re like Threadless and Spreadshirt put together.
Threadless in that we use a water-based ink on cotton process and we’ll be opening a real-world store in the plateau area before x-mas which will also sell custom design apparel created by the Wordans Designer community. We’re like Spreadshirt in that we also have a Flash designer application where designers and buyers can further customize their products, blogs, printing methods, and more.
