In 2007 Berlin-based Pamoyo was founded by designers Frans Prins and Cecilia Palmer they wanted to create a label with green vison hence they used “Open source” which is a term that’s familiar to many in technology, but much less so in the fashion world. All of its designs are published under the Creative Commons license for non-commercial use–a first!

All items in the company’s “Styled with Heart” spring collection are one-of-a-kind pieces made from organic cotton with vintage and recycled elements mixed in. Every piece is handmade and the designs inspired by street style and retro images.

Palmer explains:”We don’t make designs to protect them, but to spread. The designs and patterns can be found on our website, and anyone can share it and use it. In this way, someone can take an idea or design and build on it. We want to make it possible to build upon each other’s work in such a thing as fashion design, and we’re planning to make a community platform out of that.”
