The person and the label

Who is behind ADER error?

ADER error was founded in Seoul in 2014 by a creative team that does not name its members, Maeil Business reports, and describes its look as “post-minimal”. In December 2021 it became the first Korean brand to collaborate with Zara, and it has since opened flagships outside Korea, including Shanghai in November 2025.
