LunchMeet: Open Fashions with BurdaStyle

19:44 | Eddie Codel | Jun 8th, 2007 12:38pm |

When it comes to clothing and fashion, one doesn’t usually think of open source ideology and community collaboration. Not true with the founders of BurdaStyle, Nora Abousteit and Benedikta von Karaisl. Nora and Benedikta have created a destination for sharing clothing patterns, step-by-step fashion making instructions, a passionate community and even a wiki called Sewpedia for all things related to fabrics and fashions. I stop by BurdaStyle’s Brooklyn workshop and get the full story from Nora and Benedikta while they work.
