Dan Dwir

Dan’s story starts in Switzerland, where he studied fashion design in Geneva and earned his Bachelor’s degree in the field. It was during his studies that he first made a name for himself, winning the award for Best Collection in 2016. His early experiences taught him the artistry of haute couture, working with some of Switzerland’s finest tailors. But it was not just about learning the technical aspects of design—it was about understanding the power of clothing and how it can shape how a person feels.

Dan’s journey took him from Switzerland to Chicago, where he spent three years working with private clients and building his expertise. But in 2019, he decided to make a bold move to Toronto, Canada, where he would launch House of Dwir and share his vision with the world. Canada, with its welcoming and warm fashion community, offered a refreshing contrast to the overcrowded fashion capitals of the world. Here, Dan felt he could truly make a difference—a space where creativity could thrive and his voice could be heard.
