My story doesn’t start in a boardroom or a design studio. It starts on the snow — before logos, before gear choices, before I even knew this path existed. The mountains were my playground and my classroom. From my earliest memories I was outside — ski boots clicking into bindings, breathing the cold Colorado air. Winter wasn’t a season. It was home. And every run taught me one simple lesson: comfort, movement, and confidence start with the layer closest to your skin.
While skiing shaped my body and mind, other influences shaped how I see the world. My mom was an entrepreneur long before startup culture made it cool. She taught me what it means to build something from nothing — to take risks, and believe in the value of hard work and authenticity. Her drive wasn’t about trends. It was about making space for something real. That same spirit became part of LayerOne.
“It should feel incredible — and it should look like you.”
LayerOne isn’t just apparel. It’s a convergence of where movement meets meaning. It’s performance that doesn’t hide personality. It’s design that doesn’t erase identity. It’s a foundation that supports your motion — and reflects your story. We blend what we wear with who we are — honoring mountain heritage, tattoo artistry, and the fearless spirit of creativity. Every stitch, every piece, every design feels intentional — because nothing worth wearing was ever accidental.
LayerOne exists for the ones who: ~Live in motion ~Carry stories on their skin ~Care about quality without compromise ~See performance as an extension of identity And we’re just getting started. Stay tuned. — Tara
01
Every LayerOne print starts as an original piece of art from a female tattoo artist — no stock graphics, no generic florals. We commission the design, print it on technical fabric, and put the artist's name on the label.
02
Ultra-soft, lightly compressive, moisture-wicking, and odor-resistant. The kind of base layer you forget you have on — until someone asks where you got it.
03
Ski, snowboard, snowshoe, hike, camp. LayerOne is designed to layer clean under a shell, breathe hard on a skin track, and dry fast at camp. Performance first — then the print.
04
Each design is produced in a limited run, then retired. When a drop is gone, it is gone — and a new artist takes the next slot on the fabric.
We commission each print from a tattoo artist we love, produce it in a limited run, and put their name on the label. When a design is retired, the next artist gets the fabric.
Known for x-ray botanicals, microrealism, and fine-line work, Anastasiia brings an intricate, almost otherworldly precision to everything she creates. Her work finds beauty in the details, translating naturally from skin to fabric.
With a style rooted in illustrative and blackwork tattooing, Lou creates bold imagery with an unmistakable edge. Her work balances strength and femininity, bringing a darker, more expressive energy to LayerOne.
We’re building a rotating roster of tattoo artists whose work deserves more than a spot on skin. Have a style, a story, or a body of work that belongs on the mountain? We’d love to see it. Submit your work for consideration for a future LayerOne collaboration to hello@layeronebasewear.com
A lightly compressive four-way stretch with moisture-wicking, quick-dry, and odor-resistant technology. Flatlock seams create a second-skin fit, with zero squeeze.
Built to layer under a shell — and confident enough to be the last layer on the walk to the car.

We are launching with two debut designs. Drop your email in the contact form and we will let you know the moment sizes go live and you can reserve yours.
It's super-soft, lightly compressive, moisture-wicking with four-way stretch. It hugs without squeezing, wicks sweat fast, dries quickly, and resists odor so you can wear it for multi-day trips.
Each print is dye-sublimated into the fabric — not screen-printed on top — so the design will not crack, peel, or fade with washing. Machine wash cold, hang dry, and it will look the same on day one hundred as day one.
We commission original artwork from tattoo artists we love, print it in a limited run, then retire the design. Every product carries the artist name on the collection, and a share of every sale goes back to the artist.
Our debut run ships in XS through XL. We are building the size chart with real bodies, not standards — full guide will drop with the launch.
We ship worldwide. Unworn, unwashed pieces can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. Reach out any time — we want you in the right size.
Two designs. Limited sizes. Drop your email and we'll let you know the second Season One goes live.
