Airei
AIREI, a brand based in Los Angeles, offers a unique perspective on contemporary ready-to-wear fashion. In 2021, Creative Director Drew Curry established the brand after researching cotton's political and technical history, which influenced the brand's distinctive deconstructed style. The brand's name, which comes from the Greek phrase "to cut away," is reflected in its visibly stitched, pieced-together appearance. The collection features relaxed open knits, asymmetrical quilted vests, and paneled denim, with raw thread detailing as a reminder of each garment's components. AIREI challenges traditional tailoring by creating clothing that caters to unconventional tastes.
