Unraveling Patterns is a project that researches new sewing practices, proposing methods that challenge the power structures that shape the garment industry and the fashion system.

This collaborative project invites different collectives to reflect, question, and deconstruct the symbolic authority of these structures, while also examining their tangible influence on clothing patterns and dressing norms. It develops collaborative projects with artists and sexual dissidents, primarily between France and Chile, thus creating spaces for intercultural dialogue and artistic practices that defy established conventions. The goal is to create a space of creativity and freedom, where fashion becomes a medium of expression and not just a product of the system.
