Over two decades of some of electronic music’s most memorable songs and live performances have come courtesy of the legendary duo Daft Punk, who announced their shocking split in early 2021.

Seamstresses From Dior and Chanel Launch Tissuni, a Network For Open-Source Design Patterns
Tissuni, which is a French portmanteau for “united fabric,” is a collective of seamstresses from elite fashion houses like Chanel, Dior, and Saint Laurent that is committed to reducing fashion’s waste problem.

Now, Tissuni is experimenting with open-source design patterns. Boyer was inspired to launch Tissuni in the early days of lockdown in response to global shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE). French hospitals were in desperate need of cloth face coverings in an attempt to preserve critically low supplies of surgical face masks. Since launching Tissuni, the collective has expanded to over 100 members from re...
