TAUKO Magazine Issue No. 16 PRE-ORDER

Buy Issue No. 16 of TAUKO Magazine. What if getting dressed felt like stepping into a building you love? Issue No. 16 explores the fascinating shared language between fashion and architecture: garments that are precise, sculptural, and bold enough to hold their own shape. These are clothes that build space around the body, transforming how we move through the world.

But there’s also a quieter story spotlighted in this issue: one of mending, caring, and creating with intention. Learning from architectural restoration, we look at how the idea of care – of tending to what already exists – can be a design principle in its own right. The articles and essays invite us to see maintenance and mending as an essential part of creativity.

Inside, you’ll find nine stunning sewing patterns by international designers ranging from bold and architectural to timeless and wearable. Zero waste patterns, clean lines, and unexpected subtle design elements are at the core of this special issue. 

The magazine includes paper patterns and step-by-step instructions for all designs, which are available in nine sizes ranging from a 31"/78 cm bust to a 57.5"/146 cm bust. 

PLEASE NOTE: TAUKO Magazine is a pre-order only. It will ship on the release date (15 July). If there are any additional items in your order, all the items will ship together with the magazine on 15 July.
