TAUKO Magazine Issue No. 21 PRE-ORDER

Buy Issue No. 21 of TAUKO Magazine. How can clothes be made easier to alter as our bodies change, simpler to repair, more modular, and more open to interpretation? Redesign has always been at the heart of TAUKO Magazine, and in Issue No. 21 independent designers from around the world explore different approaches to making and remaking clothes.

Through a jumper design, you can explore how a single bodice can become several different garments, while a dress with detachable sleeves extends the possibilities of one design. Other projects take modularity even further, creating garments from interchangeable pieces that can be repaired, replaced, and developed over time. Sashiko celebrates repair rather than hiding it, while the Button Masala technique uses buttons and elastic bands instead of conventional seams, allowing fabric to be assembled, taken apart, and endlessly reconfigured.

The projects range from easy and playful makes, including a pincushion and a pair of shorts, to more detailed garments, such as a tailored trench coat-inspired dress. Whether you are looking for a quick project or something to slowly immerse yourself in, there is something new to discover, practise, and learn. The magazine includes paper patterns and step-by-step instructions for all designs, and the garment patterns are available in nine sizes ranging from a 31"/78 cm bust to a 57.5"/146 cm bust.

Alongside the patterns, the magazine includes essays, interviews, and stories that explore redesign beyond the individual garment, asking how changing the way we make clothes might also change the way we think about fashion.

PLEASE NOTE: TAUKO Magazine is a pre-order only. It will ship on the release date (22 October). If there are any additional items in your order, all the items will ship together with the magazine on 22 October.
