An independent line addicted to creating locally handmade pieces with intricate construction. ARW is here to take simplistic shapes that flatter any body type and give it constructional detail to create a piece that will last season after season. A finished look that can take you to whatever sort of event or adventure your city has in store.

As a Buffalo, NY native, what has inspired me for this line is the local community around me. Each piece is created from start to finish in my studio. All aspects of the design process, from initial pattern drafting to finished production, are fully completed independently by myself.

My name is Ashton Warner, creator and designer of ARW. Upon graduating from Buffalo State College in 2017 with a degree in Apparel Design, I sought to use my knowledge and experience to find my place in the NYC industry. From working with a local Brooklyn-based designer to a theatrical costume shop, I slowly came to the realization that Buffalo is truly the place I belong. The local community is something to thrive in, and I could not be more excited to be a part of it.
