This upcycling couturier’s transcontinental fashion practice is an embrace of togetherness
We want to change the fashion industry for good.
Assemblage Worldwide is a transnational research and knowledge platform working at the intersection of textile cultures, material knowledge, sustainability, and design education. We create spaces where makers and thinkers come together to shape more just, circular fashion.
What we do
Learning & Insights
Through the Assemblage Journal, essays, and case studies, we engage with critical perspectives and emerging practices shaping contemporary textile systems and their ecological implications.
Educational Formats
Our educational formats explore textile systems through situated practice, exchange, and critical inquiry across diverse cultural and institutional contexts.
Cultural Dialogues
Through panels, exhibitions, and collaborative formats – both invited and self-initiated – we create spaces for exchange on textile production, cultural practice, and systemic transformation.
