Why dismantle?
Why do we take clothes apart?
To spin it into the present.
Principles
Our rules
The things we hold dear in carrying out the act of disassembly.
-
01
We don't take apart current products.
We disassemble and explore, but we want to stay on the maker's side.
-
02
As far as turning it into pattern data.
For every garment we take apart, we make the pattern — whether or not there's a use for it.
-
03
We share what we know.
The insights gained from each garment, we publish and share.
-
04
When we don't know, we write that we don't know.
We write as far as we understand, and what we don't, we write plainly as Unknown.
