TAUKO Magazine Issue No.16 warmly invites you to explore the theme of 'Architecture'.
TAUKO 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 which is getting a spotlight in this issue: one of mending, caring, and creating with intention. Learning from restoration of architectural elements, 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 the core of creativity.
This issue includes nine stunning sewing pattern designs 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.
Each design comes with printed sewing patterns and step-by-step instructions making them accessible for sewers of all skill levels. Available in sizes ranging from a 31"(78cm) bust to a 57.5"(146cm) bust, these patterns celebrate creativity for a range of bodies.
