After working for more than a decade for a sustainable fashion brand and presenting seasonal collections at the international fashion weeks in Paris, Milan and Berlin, a Finnish fashion designer Mila Moisio decided to start publishing a sewing magazine. What makes a fashion designer turn into an indie publisher? What is the contemporary DIY scene like? What could the fashion industry learn from makers and how would it change the way we think of fashion, if more people would engage in the process of making their own clothes? The story of starting the TAUKO magazine tells how we need to find new radical ways of thinking about fashion by bringing makers to the spotlight.
