the holiday shop
foster the studio introduces the holiday shop, our second limited-edition collection that celebrates freedom, identity, and imagination. this series features four unique, original afrofuturistic patterns designed to transform the traditional holiday season into a canvas for bold expression and meaningful reflection.
these patterns are more than designs—they are visual narratives that challenge cultural norms, celebrate people of color, and broaden what the holidays can signify. by using patterns as a medium, we imagine expansive realities, inspiring a recalibration of shared aspirations for liberation. learn more about the collection below.

blue iverson
inaugural collection, summer 2024
this project was all about making Black contemporary art accessible through wearability. the inaugural collection is named after my original painting: blue iverson. the painting is a portrait of Allen Iverson, whose notorious cornrows designs ushered in a new era of fashion and creativity in the NBA. the piece explores the abstract and colorful experience in Blackness. for this collection, we did an extensive shoot, stopping at multiple iconic locations in LA. it was an opportunity to reflect on the legacy of LA’s Black community.
