During the summer semester of 2024, students worked with Dr Klara von Lindern on a seminar project to produce their own fashion magazine using items from the STAK collection. The magazine is entitled *Materia: Journal of the Collection of Everyday Textile Culture*. Drawing on the objects in the collection and their histories, the students wrote a wide variety of articles centred on the key themes of ‘Clothing and Gendering’ and ‘Slow Fashion and Repair Practices’. We invite you to discover the STAK and its objects from new perspectives – very much in keeping with the magazine’s subtitle: ‘More than just fabric!’
