art + creative direction
Abstract, conceptual, and open to possibility,
[shào xī] BLUE is an art brand exploring ambiguity, creative process, and the role of mistake. Through deconstruction + remake. Through improvisation and ease. Through reshaped standards and experimental form—[shào xī] BLUE resists the logic of dominant systems and singular style.
Born amidst the upheavals of 2020, the brand asks the age-old question: Can ‘art-things’ transform—can clothing be a form of disruption, care, and becoming?
At its core, [shào xī] BLUE is about transcendence—the clothes we choose to put on, the home we choose to make. A place where print becomes word, and word becomes garment—as it was in the beginning. A practice in creating possible other worlds—another option, another way.
An LA native + Philadelphia transplant, Grace—the Creative Director and Founder—is a wanderer: painter, writer, and self-described abstract maximalist.
She draws from art, fashion, and the spiritual to weave visual languages that are unapologetically mixed + layered.
Through [shào xī] BLUE, she builds a world of objects that express the search for place—for freedom, for rest, for belonging. A world shaped by fragments, by faith, by what’s seen and unseen. A world of wild + intimate things.
