WETWARE Issue Two: Fleeting Fashion
Digital-Fashion Images and Print Permanence
Curated by Vera van Nuenen
In this thought-provoking issue, Vera van Nuenen investigates the fleeting nature of digital fashion imagery in our image-saturated world. While digital garments move rapidly across screens, they lack the permanence and tangibility of print media, often vanishing without trace. This edition critically explores themes of afterlife, cultural value, print permanence, and digital hyperactivity—questioning what endures in an era of ephemeral fashion.
Anthotyping Landscapes: Field Guide
By Freja Kræmmer Nielsen, Teresa Carvalheira & Roua Alhalabi
This research-driven publication introduces readers to the Anthotyping methodology—a process for creating hyper-localized palettes of natural colors and prints derived from local flora. Led by Social Designers Freja Kræmmer Nielsen and Teresa Carvalheira, alongside Natural Dye Researcher Roua Alhalabi (RouaAtelier), this Field Guide offers a hands-on approach to sustainable, place-based textile practices.
BESTIARY OF ARRAIOLOS
By Teresa Carvalheira, edited by Vai Vem
Journey through the fauna, flora, and enchanting life forms depicted in historic Arraiolos Rugs from Portugal's southern Alentejo region. This beautifully illustrated Bestiary bridges traditional animal-patterned rugs with contemporary interpretations, capturing the spirit and cultural heritage of Alentejo through textile storytelling.
Kuntenserven Mag.
By Tjerre Lucas Bijker & Chet Julius Bugter
"I never wanted to build a 'body of work,' but to preserve these, our bodies, breathing and unaccounted for, inside the work." — Ocean Vuong
Kuntenserven Mag. creates vital space for queer subjectivity within fashion and design criticism. Born from years of critically examining contemporary design structures through a queer lens, this publication addresses a crucial gap: where is the body in the body of work? By centering queer embodiment and carnality, the magazine preserves diverse perspectives within fashion discourse—learning from queer forebears and ensuring their political power resonates with new audiences. As the founders remind us: "the queer body is not alone; queer does not reside in a body or an object, and is dependent on the mutuality of support."
