Our Queens & Kings kids collection, designed by Mika Modiggård for Pamoyo, is from now on available in the Upcycling Fashion Store, Linienstrasse 77 Berlin-Mitte, which now carries a selection of kidswear alongside their other collections from i.e. Aluc, Daniel Kroh and Goodone. Wether you are looking for gear for your Nachwuchs or tiniest friends up to 5 years, or want to see the best selection of upcycling fashion design around, this shop is well worth a visit.

Slowly I’m watching D.I.Y transforming it’s position in fashion, in a slightly similar way as good home cooking isn’t considered much less than a restaurant meal. Fashion Reloaded and other D.I.Y design events aren’t unlike private run bistros or dinner-at-home clubs. So maybe Jamie Oliver never showed up at your house, now icon of icons Karl Lagerfeld has designed an outfit for burda style magazine, meaning – patterns to make it yourself. The patterns can also be downloaded from Burda Style for 5 dollars each. Maison Martin Margiela once released an unfinished dress as an open, downloadable pattern and a call to designers to finish the work. But now seeing Karl in the Burda mag, I realize the marriage between D.I.Y and high end is going mainstream.

This one dates back to last summer – together with Andrea Goetzke of s.p.a.r.k FM, and Otto von Busch in interview, we did a radio show discussing fashion, brand and identity. Listen to it on Soundcloud here.

Last June, Pamoyo was one of the 8 designers who gathered in Ljubljana to create the first Openwear collection.

Bonjour!

My name is Roos and I am the new intern here at Pamoyo! I will be working with Cecilia until the end of January. I am a textile engineering student from Enschede, Holland.

These coming months I will be assisting Cecilia with a lot of things while trying to learn as much as possible. Also I am going to enjoy this fabulous city Berlin together with my girlfriend and my baby cat Herr Karl Heinz

Last year I made a small collection for my study. This is what it looks like (left):
