I am a Swiss fashion designer living in Toronto.
I studied fashion design in the "Haute École d’Art et Design" (HEAD) in Geneva, where I was awarded the title of “Best Bachelor Collection” (the HEAD-Bongénie prize) for my BA graduate collection.
During my studies, I was already making garments for private clients and shows, and took several internships with known Swiss tailors.

After graduation, I decided to leave my beloved country and see the world with my significant other.
I moved to Chicago for a couple of years, where I built up a network of fashion lovers and had the chance to create beautiful unique pieces for them.
However, Toronto was calling, and I finally arrived at this city that I love, and where I launched my ready-to-wear line called “House of Dwir”.

​My interest in fashion goes a long way back; it has always been my way to express my creativity. As I have noticed that most fashion is predestined to a specific gender, I decided to create a new line of garments of my own design, to free people from any social gender expectations.

Coming from a bespoke background, I keep the “handmade” close to my heart and put the eco-consciousness as my first priority. All the production is made ethically and is carefully looked after, to achieve perfection in every piece, while using eco-friendly resources.
