I (Heart) Theophilio SS23, Too

On September 14, Thoephilio staged its Spring/Summer 2023 presentation, leaving attendees with only one way to describe the collection: “sexy.”
Exiting the show alongside its stylish crowd, which included Cardi B’s stylist Kollin Carter and handbag royalty Brandon Blackwood, I overheard one guest say, “I can’t even find another word to describe the show but ‘sexy.’ So good.” I agree, anonymous fashion guest.
Indeed, Theophilio SS23 is packed with chic attractiveness, from the glittery snakeskin coordinates to shimmering flyaway tops sealed with gilded TP clasps.

Eloquently styled by i-D fashion director Carlos Nazario, classic pantsuits were paired with teeny bikini sets while sleek color-blocked trousers exposed undergarments’ branded bands, all reiterating guests’ final synopsis: this wasn’t just any kind of sexy, it was TP-sexy, honey.
Embedded within that glam and sexiness was a love letter to Jamaica and other places creative director Edvin Thompson has resided, like New York, Jersey, and Atlanta.
Fittingly titled “Homecoming,” Theophilio SS23 manifests as “an ode to all the places I called home,” as Thompson puts it.

Rasta hats and shimmering fishnet tops joined glamorous headdresses, nodding to the essence of the island that birthed Thompson, including Jamaica’s legendary Carnival scene.
For those unfamiliar with Carnival, the extravaganza honors the island’s rich musical and cultural history with high-energy parades and vibrant costumes similar to the ones shown in Theophilio’s collection.

Theophilio’s remixed “I Love NY,” which honored the brand’s NY presence, made me sit up straight. Literally, my eyes couldn’t help but light up to the dancing crystals on Theophilio’s spin on the iconic “I Love NY” tee, initially designed by Milton Glaser.
A suitable round-off, a sequined graphic concept boasted verbiage like “TP,” “Family Tings,” and “New York,” bringing the collection’s theme — if I may – home with a cohesive design.

Taking the words from the mouth that one guest, Theophilio SS23 was indeed “so good,” to say the least. Shimmery, shiny, and sexy, the collection honored the environments that molded Thompson’s unique design lens, which continues to keep us on our toes every season.
Plus, you can’t knock a pre-rolled party favor after an impressive presentation. Talk about a good show and a good time.
