About Us
Form Era is a slow fashion brand made in Toronto, Canada. Our jeans are designed especially for the "hourglass" body type, eliminating the waistband gap fit problem familiar to many. We use premium materials to create timeless designs that are both artistic and built to last.
Form Era was founded by Katie Switzer, a lifelong clothing maker who saw a gap in the market for high-quality, non-stretch jeans tailored to hourglass bodies. Frustrated by having to size up for her hips only to deal with a loose waist, and disappointed by the low quality, stretchy, and boring styles of most "curvy" jeans, Katie was determined to create pants that fit her body, in the high quality she wanted.
After discovering that many other women faced the same issue, Katie dedicated over a year to research and fit testing, and Form Era was born. Launched in October 2024, Form Era offers artistic, premium quality high-waisted jeans, skirts, and shorts, in both straight and plus sizes.
Celebrate your curves with Form Era!
