Edvin Thompson, the Jamaican-American designer behind the contemporary fashion brand Theophilio, is based in Brooklyn, New York. He originally developed the line as an admission to the stories the world fails to comprehend for people who look like him. Fusing nostalgia from his youth in Jamaica with New York City’s progressive culture, cultural authenticity has been essential in implementing Theophilio’s ideology. At the root of the brand’s design is a focus on the celebrations of life after overcoming its obstacles and triumphs along the way. 

Thompson believes we should all look and feel good while facing our adversities. As an immigrant, he is here to champion the voices of those alike, making Theophilio a wearable biography.
