Born to working-class parents who migrated from Ghana to North America, Spencer’s work is a semi-autobiographical collection that uses fashion to explore culture and acts as a self-reflective body of work, presenting the idea of uniforms as ever-changing and fluid.

Founded in 2015 in the eponymous designer’s native Toronto. Badu fuses meticulous craftsmanship with layered storytelling. His designs exude experimental vigor and detailed craftsmanship, all while alluding to tales of migration while transforming rich cultural subtext into each piece. Badu calls us to embrace our stories, journeys, and identities—one garment at a time.

At its core, the brand is recontextualizing what UNIFORM means to us.
