The Story

Unveiling the Canvas of AO  

Hi! I'm Asia Lee, the heart and hustle behind AO, a streetwear brand that's not just about threads. It's a celebration of our inherent creative potential.

Before AO  was created I excelled in the dynamic world of film staying true to my passion for clothing, specifically in costume design and development. However, my career encountered an unexpected hiatus when the longest entertainment industry strike unfolded.

During uncertain times I found solace in art. I pushed myself not just to get by but to truly live through my art. I soon found community in other artists who were pushing their own creative boundaries and it was in this environment that Artists Only, or AO, came to life.

The Souls Canvas:  Art is the mirror reflecting our truths.  

When we create we don't just make things; we discover ourselves. Your art is your voice and the world is eager to hear it. We encourage you to wear it proudly. 

AO stands as a reminder – we are all Artists By Default.

Unleash your creativity and let your soul speak through your art. 

So, here's to living unapologetically in our artistry embracing the beautiful chaos of creation, and returning to our inherent roots as:

Artists By Default
