What to know about Spencer Badu
Genderless uniform, not seasonal fashion
The wardrobe is built as a uniform system: low-rise trousers with dropped belt loops, convertible outerwear, cropped tees and utility bags, mostly in black, white and navy.
Outerwear carries the design ideas
Convertible jackets are the brand's signature, cut along Bauhaus-informed lines rather than decorated, which is where most of the price goes.
Small Toronto label, international runway
Founded in 2015 by self-taught patternmaker Spencer Badu, it has shown at London and Paris fashion weeks and sells direct and through SSENSE.

Brand facts
Spencer Badu is the eponymous Toronto label of Ghanaian-Canadian designer Spencer Badu, who taught himself patternmaking before design school.

Badu has presented at London and Paris fashion weeks, and the Fall 2025 collection, Interwoven, debuted as a film with director Nathan Burland at New York Fashion Week plus a sold-out Toronto screening. Stocked direct and by SSENSE.
