Allenomis is a design studio established in 2012 to create sustainable garments that respond to climate and social context. We oppose the current waste and consumeristic culture by creating multifunctional, transformable and customisable garments that reduce the drive to buy frequently. For our latest collection we adopted the principles of the circular economy, making use of zero waste pattern cutting techniques and recycled materials to further reduce waste.
