A Night at the Rock Your Wear Gala

Before I say anything else, I want to shout out a huge

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

to our Rock Your Wear contest winner --- Tone! (aka Anthony Livet) :)

Tone's awesome design won him a Wordans' customized t-shirt with his unique design and a grand prize of $1 500.00 thanks to our wonderful sponsors. Congratulations also go out to the runner-ups who gave Tone a run for his money with some great design examples for customized t-shirts.

In case you haven't noticed, the Wordans website is now up and running smoothly. You can sign up for a My Wordans account to buy customized t-shirts, submit your designs, create your own online shop and become a Wordans partner. We would love to hear your feedback on our website, so if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, leave us a note on our comments section by clicking below this post. We hope you all love the website as much as we do.

I thought I would give a brief rundown of what went on in today's post just for those who unfortunately couldn't make it.

The Rock Your Wear Gala was a smashing success. Beginning with free drinks (Thanks to Boris beer) and some delicious sushi (care of Miso Sushi), the event began with big smiles. For those of you who haven't been to Club Cherry in Old Montreal, the atmosphere is truly unique and a lot of fun. A 70s nightclub/Asian theme makes this club both trendy and original. The large dance floor is perfect for huge venues like ours and the intimate booths, which are positioned along the sides of the dance floor provide a great setting for those who want to sip a martini and enjoy the night with close friends.

The Rock Your Wear Gala began for VIP guests at 6:30 and continued on until 1AM, with dancing, great music, cool events (graffiti artists and breakdancing/b-boying) and lots of fun. Our winner was announced at around 8PM along with a fashion show of sorts. All of our top ten finalists were sporting their new Wordans' customized t-shirts with their unique designs. graffitti artist astwo

Top Ten Rockin’ Designs

The team here at Wordans has been busily working all day to sort through the contest submissions and choose the ultimate top ten designs, one of which will be the winner of our $1500.00 (plus free custom t-shirt) prize! It's been pretty intense here, but we finally decided on ten amazing designs and we thought you should know about it.

The top ten Rock Your Wear finalists are all invited to the Rock Your Wear Gala happening on Thursday September 27, 2007 at 8PM. It's going to be one heck of a party at Club Cherry in Old Montreal. Come on by and say hello!

HUGE THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED

Before we go about announcing these amazing top ten candidates, we wanted to thank everyone again for sending in their designs. You made our job incredibly tough and we were impressed with the designs that were submitted. Huge thanks (and round of applause) to everyone who sent something in. You guys rock!

And finally (drum roll please...)
