Description

Openwear was an open brand offering methods of organization and collective production of clothes, which connected local producers, small businesses and educational institutions. The project was active from 2010 to 2012, thanks to a European Union fund called Life Long Learning project. Today, resources and files survive as a digital archive thanks to Zoe Romano. (http://openwear.eu/).

Openwear was a project created by EDUfashion with the collaboration of two companies, Popper and Ethical Economy, and universities from Italy and Denmark, which coincide in the implementation of new values and the need for a transformation of the production processes of clothing. They also advocated for the disappearance of maquilas, environmental sustainability, fair trade and local production.

The co-makers involved were able to access to a public space to showcase their creations and find collaborators with different knowledges, in order to associate in the processes of production, learning and problem solving.

Openwear members made available collections of clothes whose patterns could be downloaded, manufactured and sold under the precepts of the brand—e.g. suppoting manual and not industrial manufacture. These designs were sold under the Openwear brand, and personal profiles could be used to publish the necessary information for the replication and/or modification of patterns.
