AFTER WORK STUDIO

2019_After_Work_Studio__AWS_3_Runway_AlexanderPalacios

The AFTER WORK STUDIO label was founded by the fashion designer Karin Wüthrich and the graphic designer Matthias Fürst in 2015 immediately after they finished the Master’s course in fashion design they completed together at HGK Basel under the name WUETHRICHFUERST. The label already received a great response as a result of the Master’s collection, which has since increased further at national and international level and has made the designer duo into a firm component of the Swiss fashion landscape within a short space of time. The design vocabulary of the brand has developed during the three years of experimental volume combined with adventurous surfaces to a contrast between sportiness and feminine elegance. After Work Studio always places great importance on longevity and functionality with its designs, without losing sight of the aspect of high fashion. The self-image of the brand also includes a focus on fair working and manufacturing conditions – the production sites are located in Switzerland or in neighbouring countries – and on ecologically responsibly produced materials.

Comments of the nominators

The young label AFTER WORK STUDIO is one of the hopes of the Swiss fashion scene. The designs bear witness to a completely independent formal approach and remarkable design maturity. It’s therefore not surprising that the very contemporary and wearable fashion by this designer duo has already also found international approval – for example in London or Seoul.
