with the addition of a few poles. Launched in 2017, it’s sold on a buy-one-give-one model, with every jacket purchased providing another to a displaced or homeless person. It’s come to represent all of ADIFF’s tenets: that garments can be multi-functional, beyond simply clothing our bodies; that fashion should be both useful and inventive; and that what we wear should relate to the world around us.
In 2020, ADIFF planned to roll out a few designer collaborations, but they were put on hold during the pandemic. Luna and Al Saad spent the extra time sewing thousands of face masks for New York hospitals and taking part in the Black Lives Matter protests. That’s where Luna found her inspiration for the cookbook: “It was the end of June, and I’d spent all this time at the protests and was feeling really frustrated by the industry,” she says.
A few years ago, it’d be difficult to imagine designers sharing their intellectual property so freely. Now, it feels like the logical next step towards a more open, community-driven fashion industry. We got a glimpse of its potential earlier this summer, when Jonathan Anderson shared the pattern for a patchwork cardigan Harry Styles wore, which sparked a DIY movement on TikTok. “You never really own a design anyway.
will be a resource for consumers, fashion students, and designers looking to repurpose their archive or deadstock materials. It’s being published as a paperback and e-book through Amazon for $60, and the first page includes a transparent breakdown of the cost: Amazon takes a 40% royalty; printing is $20 per book; and ADIFF is sharing part of the profit with the designers who lent their patterns. That means ADIFF will make $10 per sale.
“I would love to challenge people to think more critically about what they’re buying and how they engage with items that are already in their closet,” Luna adds. “We just want to create less reliance on the industry. Maybe you have an old shirt you were planning to throw away and replace [with a new one], but we want to show people that you can be self-sufficient. You don’t necessarily need to rely on brands to create these things for you.
Weird collection such as graphic cook books & so on, kinda wonder where you are in the world ;)
