ABOUT
DRACO Art + Design Studio
© DRACO LOS ANGELES (LLC), founded by Drake Velasco.
DRACO is a project from the minds of Drake Velasco and Miko Sablan, put forth not only as a form of expression creatively, but as an extension of our philosophy and the lives we live.
We are led by our strongest convictions, upholding ethics and quality of design over all else. We wish to never create for creation's sake, but to always be guided by something outside of ourselves.
Our intention is not to limit DRACO to being a certain kind of brand focused on only certain products. The only thing that is for certain is that we know that we are not yet where we want to be and hope to remain in this mindset for as long as the project exists.
Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh™ embarks on a new narrative where free thinking inspires a pioneering format for the future, where the age of imagination is the product of reality.
Inspired by Virgil’s vision and approach to his art, Off-White™ nourishes a collective of creative minds that represent the best in their category and have a strong and personal connection with Virgil. Ibrahim’s relationship with Virgil and Off-White™, born and nurtured through Instagram DMs, blossomed both personally and professionally over the last 3 years creating a strong bond based on mutual respect and shared values.
“Making a successful luxury brand in nine years is genius. It’s a feat that I admire and hope to continue building upon with a rich legacy. He revolutionised streetwear and luxury that crosses generations and decades. He showed the world that the underrepresented, the underdogs and Black people, in particular, have brilliant minds and can push and compete equally in the establishment. He inspired hope and brought about change.” - Ibrahim Kamara, Art&Image Director Off-White™
