Resolute to drive a post-gender revolution, Toronto-based Spencer Badu founded his eponymous label in 2015. Experimenting with clothing design, Badu taught himself the art of pattern-making and needlework before enrolling in design school, a move that would galvanize the formation of his unisex ready-to-wear fashion label. A devotee of the Bauhaus movement, Badu takes a less-is-more approach to design, crafting ultramodern with subtle yet salient intricacies. Challenging society’s expectations of gendered clothing, the label’s collections are shaped to propagate liberty. Notes of masculinity and femininity are organically fused, large in black and white colorways, to elevate trousers with zippered details, convertible coats with inventive dimensions, cropped t-shirts and sweatshirts, and daringly cut shirts. The brand’s garments are meant to hang in a wardrobe that can be shared by lovers and friends alike.
