Openwear is the new open source concept and community in course of developing by EDUfashion.

In Openwear’s online space, small fashion producers, designers, stylists, students, interns,tailors, photographers, models, crafters, sewing cafes, silk-screen printers, fashion schools and others will all be able to open their own web space and personal profile, have access to the service and tools made available by the community, network, learn but also take part to  the first collaborative, peer-produced, open-source fashion brand and its collections.

For the first time, the result of the innovative process of crowdsourcing will not be owned by a particular firm or company because the owners will be the community itself.

This openwear blog will keep you updated with all the topics and concepts put into play in the work in progress.

About:

FASHION RELOADED #3 Open Swap, Open Skills, Open Branding. Swap, hack and restyle your fashion brand in our crowdsourcing laboratory.

The swap, make and restyle fashion event FASHION RELOADED presents Open Branding, an exploration how to crowdsource a fashion brand. Located at the public area of green fashion event THEKEY.TO at Postbahnhof, FASHION RELOADED offers workshops and installations to swap, upcycle and restyle your fashion brand.

Initiated by two Swedish designers, open source designer Cecilia Palmer and haute couture heretic and researcher Dr. Otto von Bush, the event calls consumers and designers to reclaim their fashion. Cecilia Palmer: "The internet allows us to co-create the world around us, and we want to explore the possibilities of crowdsourcing the creation of a fashion brand."

Dr. Otto von Bush, known for his fashion hacking projects: "There are other ways of organising the fashion system. The question is: ‘How can we harvest more love, rather than just trying to sell more stuff? That's what we research here.'"
