TL Magazine: Alba Amicorum — Art to Wear and Collect

TL Magazine screenshot of Alba Amicorum article intro

 "I loved the collaborative process with other creative minds and I wanted to connect with artist friends around the world — and this laid the foundation for what has become Alba Amicorum."
— Darshana Shilpi Rouget, TL Magazine

TL Magazine — the Brussels-based design and craft title — writes on Alba Amicorum as a serious practice in contemporary collecting. The feature treats each edition as a piece of art with provenance: the certificate of authenticity, the numbered run, the collaborator's signature on the cloth.

The editor's framing — "art to wear and collect" — became one of the lines we keep coming back to, because it captures the dual logic of the atelier: a piece can be lived with, and also kept. The article appeared in print, online and was also supported by an Instagram amplification (@tlmag) on 4 February 2022.
