Nina Garduno started FreeCity in 2001 after a visit to Christiania, a freewheeling hippy enclave in Copenhagen.

Tassajara in Northern California, the community in New Mexico, Marfa, Texas—all places where like-minded people were living an alternative lifestyle. “Instead of moving to a place like that, I wanted to live that feeling in Los Angeles. So I made my t-shirt to tag myself as having a “free city” spirit”.
