Theophilio, founded in 2016 by Jamaican-American designer Edvin Thompson, is a contemporary ready-to-wear brand based in Brooklyn, New York. Thompson, who immigrated to the US as a child, uses the label as a wearable biography, weaving nostalgia from his Jamaican upbringing with the progressive energy of New York City. The brand is celebrated for its vibrant color palettes, often incorporating the hues of the Jamaican and Rastafarian flags, and its sensual, form-fitting silhouettes that draw from dancehall culture and island nightlife. Core pieces include flared trousers, mesh tops, and artfully deconstructed dresses, often crafted from upcycled and sustainably sourced materials.
