A photo series capturing real nails in real life featuring Spencer Badu.

Spencer Badu is the founder if his namesake label, an independent fashion brand founded in 2015 in 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.
