Behind the scenes: TAUKO Issue No. 13 ✨
When the day came to shoot Issue 13 in early April, the weather forecast for Helsinki promised a wild ride - from freezing blizzards to bursts of sunshine! We started early in the morning at a charming allotment garden by the sea and a cosy hut where we sipped our morning coffee. Make-up done, hair set, and off we went - capturing the magic of the frozen sea and forest slowly awakening from hibernation. And just as the rain arrived, we wrapped up and headed for the warmth of the studio, where a hot lunch awaited. 🌧️🍲
Every TAUKO shoot now feels like a family trip, with an incredible team I cherish (including dogs and babies). 💕 I can't wait to share the results with you when the new issue comes out!

Quotes issue no. 13.mp4
A weekend to remind us of the power of clothing and textiles! Issue 13 focuses on empathy and explores ideas close to our hearts. In the editorial letter, Mila reflects on how clothing can act as a gentle form of protest:
"When a group of men with ties around their necks gather on a busy street corner in Santiago de Chile to knit with pink yarn, or when people organise to embroider napkins for the board members of Marks & Spencer to highlight the conditions of the company's underpaid workers, it's an empathetic way of making social grievances visible. And the great thing is that the responses to textile activism are as tender as the activism itself.
Indeed, it is not just textiles that are at the heart of the social movement often referred to as 'craftivism'. It is the idea of empathetic and gentle strategic communication aimed at changing the toxic structures of society. Textiles are an ideal vehicle for this approach: their softness is something that cannot be ignored and often acts as a counterweight to the hard values of a harsh world".
One design in this issue, the MOVEMENT jacket by Jenny Hassler (@johassler), features a hand-embroidered 'Blooming Uterus' by artist Naushin Kaipally and nods to that very movement. Find out more about this powerful design when the issue comes out on 22 October - and the embroidery instructions are included!
The jacket is made of Etta Washed Denim by METERMETER (100% cotton, mid-blue).

The energy of planning new projects is in the air, and maybe it's time to start that first winter coat you'll wear for years to come?

And there's more! The simplicity of Inessa Jääskeläinen's (@inkuri_kangaskauppa) KALLIO top & ALPPILA trousers, our co-founder Kaisa Rissanen's everyday favourite DYNAMO dress and the minimalist beauty of Sara Hallander's (@monsterfabriken) LILLY layer-on dress are sure to bring a smile to your face.
