“The mountains, the desert. Southern California had both… The sky was cloudless, nights cool, days brilliant, nature abundant.” - Lyra Kilston

SWYR Studios was founded in Los Angeles 2023. The brand is influenced by quiet pieces of life in California, pulling inspiration from works by the LA greats—Ruscha, Beecroft, and Turrell— along with windblown drives along the Pacific Coast Highway, and subtle textures and shapes found in the desert of Joshua Tree. Designed without gender in mind, each piece investigates the power of form and shape rather than masculine and feminine definition.

SWYR presents on a biannual basis and is defined by a progressive exploration of seasonless themes. The full collection is made in LA and is a collaboration with the Los Angeles fashion/artisan community. Focusing on exceptional fabrics, impeccable details, and precise tailoring, pieces are currently made in small batches or on a made-to-order basis, allowing SWYR to develop its own path in conscious manufacturing.
