omdo STUDIOS

Dive deep into the enigmatic genesis of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s unparalleled artistic odyssey. As we retrace the footsteps of his origin, we encounter ‘Samo,’ a groundbreaking project born from the vibrant streets of NYC 80’s graffiti culture. Basquiat, alongside his childhood friend Al Diaz, utilised this platform as a channel for their collective frustrations with the world’s injustices – a poignant commentary on consumerism, religion, politics, and beyond. Their bold strokes of social critique adorned the Manhattan landscape, imprinting the Lower East Side with their revolutionary spirit. Yet, as swiftly as it emerged, ‘Samo’ faded into legend, its legacy immortalised by the haunting proclamation: ‘Samo is dead.’ But from its ashes rose the phoenix of Basquiat’s enduring vision, as the themes and motifs of his graffiti days permeated his later works, a testament to the indelible mark of his formative experiences. From the defiant prose scrawled across his canvases to the visceral imagery that ignited dialogue on race, money, and creativity, Basquiat’s oeuvre is a tapestry woven from the fabric of his own struggles and triumphs. Witness the metamorphosis of a rebel into a revolutionary, whose art transcends mere aesthetics to challenge the very fabric of society. Join us in this exploration of artistic evolution, where each brushstroke is a testament to resilience and rebellion.

Have you ever thought about how your fashion garments are made? Every step and process? Juliet Seger and Christina Albrecht had that exact thought when founding the fashion brand The Human Touch Using inks on the fingers of the people that make the garments (the technique of paint-sewing), THE HUMAN TOUCH of manufacturing becomes literally imprinted on the garment, creating an all over abstract print. It makes me think of the way Francis Bacon described his own paintings of the essence of his subjects passing through the canvas. In the same way, the essence of the people greeting these garments pass through the finished garment. It is not very often that we are stopped in our tracks by a concept in fashion but this one really has, its simplicity in execution allows the complexity of the concept to really have room to breathe and envelop the viewer. The brand is still in its infancy so are finding their feet but we see massive potential with them and cannot wait to see what they do next. What do you think of their work?

How do you start a fashion or design brand? Why do you start it? With 99% of business ideas not getting off the ground and then 99% of the last 1% not making it through the first year it can be a daunting undertaking. For our founder Alan Taylor it was no different. Having started his own fashion brand back in 2012 and realising the flaws in the current system and seeing some of his successful peers struggling to make ends meet, it sparked the idea of redefining what the current business model was to allow the most creative process possible. Find out the genesis of omdo STUDIOS, where it has come from and where we would like to take it. Do you struggle with the same issues? Do you have you own solutions?

Who is guilty of this? Every time we work on a new project, a piece of content, a design, whatever it is, we get caught up in the perfect of an idea and let that get in the way of something being great or even sharing it with the world at all.
