TAUKO Magazine Issue No. 20 PRE-ORDER

Buy Issue No. 20 of TAUKO Magazine. Issue No. 20 explores the idea of layers, not only as a practical way of dressing, but as a language of shape, rhythm, protection, and self-expression.

In this issue, independent designers from around the world explore layering through material, construction, proportion, and detail. The collection brings together lighter and heavier garments designed to be combined, adapted, and worn in different ways over time. Small details transform the way garments interact with one another and create entirely new silhouettes through layering.

Inside, you'll discover sewing patterns ranging from underwear to expressive skirts, blouses, and warm outer layers. Some garments explore layering through the styling itself, while others build layers directly into the construction through ruffles, gathered elements, linings, folds, and overlapping shapes. Materials shift between sheer and protective: airy cottons, translucent fabrics, soft drape, structured tailoring, and heavy wool. Alongside the patterns, you'll find essays and stories exploring layering as both a practical and emotional way of dressing.

Issue No. 20 also introduces a renewed editorial layout together with clearer and more supportive sewing instructions. 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.
