Is This Working?
Is This Working? examines the pace and value of creative work in a system built for constant output. These looks, made by friends in the Snack Size community and styled by Adele Tetangco, come from independent designers producing in small batches. Each one reflects hours of labour, skill, and decision-making that often go unseen.
This page details for every look: brand name, style name, and how many were made. It’s a record of work done slowly, with intention, outside the push for “more” that defines much of the fashion industry. Together, they form a collective answer: yes, it’s working, just differently.
