Theophilio Spring-Summer 2021 Look 1

“I wanted people to know that it’s very possible for a kid from Jamaica to come to America … and I really created a space for myself,” said designer Edvin Thompson, creative director of his contemporary clothing brand. His island roots anchored into New York City’s progressive culture, and the result is we the birth of blended cultures making Theophilio wearable biography.

With the use of upcycled clothing, double denim makes a genderf*ck appearance; deconstructed blazers are paired with covetable dyed jeans, and baby doll dresses in citron and cotton candy pastel hues see new life. Crushed velvet pants are styled with a live snake for a necklace, elongated sleeves on button-downs with embroidered logos, and classic mesh tank tops get a beaded fringe treatment for movement (for the Theophilio customer, there will most likely be dancing).

The collection is a celebration of life and triumphs along the way. Let the party live on.
