The clean and minimal design of WEER stands for the brand’s ethics and values: mixing functionality with quality

Karin Lorez launched her first fashion collection in 2014 – she started with high-quality basic t-shirts in three different colors. Today her fashion brand WEER is presenting their collections at Mode Suisse in Zurich, during Paris Fashion Week and even in Korea. Making a statement against the fast-paced nature of fashion, WEER does not offer seasonal collections but instead focuses on offering daily essentials for every wardrobe rather and timeless collections. WEER refers to the charm of vintage workwear, as well as the sharpness of military clothes.
