Issue 2- Booklook Shirt

A magazine that can be unfolded and worn as shirt, which again can be refolded into a magazine.

 

Booklook Shirt carries the essay Fragments of DIY stories, about do-it-yourself practices in fashion, by researcher Alessandra Varisco.

To merge reading with doing, this publication includes crochet patterns, developed and designed by SKHSS: Mika Perlmutter & Lejla Vala Verheus.

You are invited to use the patterns to modify the design of this garment-magazine through crocheting yourself.

Besides the contributors’ text it carries a prologue by researcher Femke de Vries.
