Can one garment save the world?
Runa from Bybaba http://www.bybaba.com/ will for one year (starting July, 2017) only wear 10 custom made Easy Pieces in combination with the few pieces remaining garments in her dying closet.

An inclusive dialogue and hands on social refashion experiment start together with slow creations, erie Berlin,Leluma Design, chain re:action
Easy Piece Open World Collaboration is a social, sustainable, ethical refashion experiment and inter-disciplinary collaboration. The creative commons open source pattern will be available as of June 30, 2017, when the project is launched at OSCE Days Berlin.

The process will constantly be openly, non-violently, creatively, scientifically and curiously discussed and evaluated by users, designers, producers, craftspeople, activists, scientists, journalists, economists, politicians, artists, academics and more from every field and corner.
The work will be documented, shared, adapted, hacked and fine tuned. … Only to be stopped if suddenly one day or night everybody suddenly hollers ‘Eureka, we have it’! One of the participants is Petra Holmberg from Stockholm. Take a look what her contribution is :

Besides saving and making this world a just and prosperous place,Runa also have a personal reason for launching Easy Piece: It’s just impossible to find what I want in the stores. That super garment respectfully made for me!
I will go to the exhibition and OSCE days event with my knitted easy piece contribution knitted in a Bubbly stick technique in alpaca and linen. It will also be my first time to visit Berlin.
