Designer Profile
Luke Tadashi
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Luke Tadashi grew up playing competitive basketball. Through his love of the game, he cultivated an interest in sportswear design. Drawn to the intersection of sports and design, he co-founded Bristol Studio as a vehicle for venturing deeper into this interdisciplinary space.
As a designer, Tadashi is inspired by examining iconic sportswear silhouettes, such as tracksuits and sweatpants, and reimagining them through unconventional materials and custom-developed fabrics. In Fall 2018, Bristol Studio and Adidas Originals will release their first capsule collection, including a full range of apparel, footwear, and accessories, that aims to blur the lines separating sportswear, performance wear and avant-garde design.
