Theophilio’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection, The Morning After, is for the ones who grind long past quitting time—the dreamers, the doers, the ones who refuse to fold. Designer Edvin Thompson tells a story of resilience with every stitch, transforming late nights and early mornings into sharply tailored silhouettes and bold, textured pieces that refuse to be ignored.
This season, Theophilio steps further into structured tailoring while staying true to its signature sensuality. Wool satin tops come alive with lace-up detailing at the back, blurring the line between polished and undone. A gold and black animal-print pony hair coat dress? That’s not just outerwear—it’s a declaration. The lace-up accents make it feel just as intimate as it is powerful, a reminder that Theophilio doesn’t just dress bodies, it dresses confidence.
Hints of the 2025 Met Gala theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, can be seen throughout the collection in the precise suiting and exaggerated proportions. Thompson leans into oversized tailoring, playing with scale in a luxurious and rebellious way. The introduction of the “Oversize New Boy” hat further nods to classic dandyism, adding a bold punctuation mark to his evolving house codes.
Thompson continues his commitment to ethical design, incorporating locally sourced lambskin leather punctuated with grommets. The material choices feel intentional—blending toughness with refinement, proving that strength and elegance can (and should) coexist. The knitted twist evening dress also makes a statement, reinforcing the brand’s ability to fuse the hard and the soft, the structured and the fluid.
The Morning After isn’t just about survival—it’s about showing up and showing out, no matter how long the night before was. Theophilio gets it: the hustle never stops, and neither does the style.
