SAKE (pron. /seɪk/, sayk) is an interdisciplinary art project led by Sadia Rafique together with Mohsin Sajid (ENDRIME® and Denim History) and artist Matt Duckett in collaboration with Tonello, alongside Susan Zheng.
With support from global industry leaders—Cone Denim®, Indigo Textile, Sharabati, Stella Blu, Tusa Denim, YKK and 496 Fabric Lab—with special thanks to Kingpins Show, we are thrilled to announce that SAKE — THE ART OF PURPOSE will take place for the third consecutive year this October at Kingpins Show in Amsterdam.
This year, SAKE is exploring multidisciplinary techniques, including Tonello’s lasering, innovative wash and dye processes, as well as printing methods and jacquard weaving. New works of art incorporate a range of techniques, including hand-painted and hand-drawn elements, photography, marbling, digital art, AI, and animation.
