AIREI promotes humanity by elevating the perception of the outcasts, forgotten, and misunderstood.

Illustrating the human condition, Drew uses deconstruction and reconstruction techniques to call attention to fragility.

Single threads are a signature in his work, representing mending and healing. Each hand-finished garment is signed and numbered by the artisan.

Drew highlights the human touch by allowing the uniqueness of the garments to become the focus.
