Frontline workers, teachers, protestors, activists, parents, and children have risen as unsuspecting heroes amidst the hurdles of this past year. Designer Edvin Thompson used this quarantined time to develop a collection focused on how heroism looks quite different now than what we as a society used to define it as.
Titled “Solace,” Thompson offered comfort and consolation in time of distress and sadness through his preferred medium – clothes. Never shy of color, this season brought back familiar Theophilio silhouettes, but with different takes on his asymmetrical dresses and mesh tank tops— and an exciting introduction of knitwear, including two-piece combos with extra length in the neck for dramatic proportion.
In his own words, “you should look and feel good affirming the person you would like to become.”
