We’ve fallen head over heels in love with the debut issue of ModCloth’s The Written Wardrobe, an anthology of poetry, fiction, and essays inspired by fashion.  Launched in February, the first issue of The Written Wardrobe features 20 writers — from young friends seeking adventures in their new bathing suits to a single mother rediscovering confidence through the perfect shade of lipstick. This indie talent and creative approach is branded content at its finest.

ModCloth’s Inspiration
This collection of poetry, essays, and fiction illuminates all the ways that style influences our lives — from the way we use our personal style to express our most intimate desires to the relationships fashion helps us form with one another. No matter the labels or trends, style is something that empowers and delights us. We believe The Written Wardrobe embodies this philosophy, while inspiring its readers to think about their own passions.

As you explore The Written Wardrobe, you will find that it’s beautifully organized into the following sections:  Love Letters, Creating, Realizations, Standing Out, and Strong Ties.  In typical ModCloth fashion, The Written Wardrobe is meticulously designed with a retro feminine flair.  It is designed to draw you in, offer inspiration and leave you with a smile.

By visiting The Written Wardrobe, you might get the sudden urge to compose a poem, reorganize your closet or do a little shopping — or all of the above.  And, we kinda love that.  Smart, ModCloth.  You never cease to amaze us.
