Fashion imprint Theophillio introduces its latest collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2023 season on the runways of New York Fashion Week. The latest capsule draws inspiration from Edvin Thompson's Jamaican heritage and celebrated carnival themes of Black culture. It also honors retro design elements that are true to 70s flair -- this can be seen through the feathered headdresses, the flare-legged silhouettes, sequinned details, and Apple Jack hats.
The rest of the collection includes bejeweled tops, bedazzled dresses, and leather options. The color palette includes bright hues of yellow, green, white, tan, purple, and denim touches as well. Notably, the capsule is made up of additional branding accents as a standout detail including the "I Love TP" emblem in different colorways.
