GRAN - not a fashion magazine

2025

GRAN Magazine uses the glossy format of fashion magazines to inspire readers to sew. With just a few measurements, sewing beginners can make a customizable dress top — no complex pattern tracing required. The method lowers the barriers to start sewing clothes from scratch and offers room for endless variation and play. The magazine pairs instructions with a photo editorial showing diverse versions of the dress top, a photo essay that links making to childhood dress-up, and personal essays on the cultural and emotional sides of sewing. At its core, GRAN is about creative empowerment: reclaiming fashion as something you can make yourself, in your own way.
