Wardrobe Theory Project #1

Wardrobe Theory Project #1

WTP is a limited collectible print magazine that explores how we consume, curate and create. A living, breathing archive and analytical system of personal wardrobes, each issue highlights 50 favorite and/or most worn garments from an individual’s closet, while computing outfit combinations and style system tools for inspiration and reference.

Additional features include a how to segment, contributing essays and features on designers, artisans and brands who contribute to the circular economy and have sustainable practices as part of their existence.

Our essay segment invites a unique voice to share personal insights and reflections on their relationship with clothing and style. These essays offer readers an intimate, often nostalgic exploration of how the pieces we choose to keep – or rediscover – become often woven into the stories of our lives. Through thoughtful storytelling, each contributor delves into themes of sustainability, identity, and the enduring value of cherished garments, aiming to inspire a shift in perspective: from seeing clothing as mere utility or trend to appreciating it as an integral part of our personal histories and values.

In Issue 1, Ryan Lynch contributes his recollections and observations from being involved with WTP since its’ inception five years ago. No better voice could speak so eloquently in extrapolating the essence of why this publication exists.
