What happens when the design process is left visible? How can clothes be made easier to alter, repair, transform, and reinterpret?
Redesign has always been at the heart of TAUKO Magazine, and for our 21st issue, we are delighted to dedicate an entire issue to the theme.
Independent designers from around the world explore new approaches to making and remaking clothes, from upcycling and visible repair to modular construction and transformable garments.
Discover how a single bodice can become several different garments, how detachable sleeves open up new possibilities, and how interchangeable pieces allow clothes to evolve over time. Explore sashiko, the Japanese art of visible repair, and Button Masala, a playful technique that uses buttons and elastic bands to assemble fabric without conventional seams.
The projects range from quick and playful makes, such as a pincushion and shorts, to more detailed garments, including a trench coat-inspired dress. Whether you're looking for a simple project or a new challenge, there is plenty to discover and learn.
Beyond the patterns, essays, interviews, and stories explore how rethinking the way we make clothes can also change the way we think about fashion.
Repair. Transform. Adapt. Reimagine. Redesign invites us to see what is already there – and discover what else it could become.
Welcome to Redesign!
