New York-based Theophilio directed by Edvin Thompson continued with a theme of tapping into his Jamaican heritage for the label’s spring 204 collection. Titled “Out of Many, One People,” Jamaica’s national motto celebrating its diverse culture, the collection touches on island vibes especially as informed by dancehall in particular music creative Sean Paul’s 2002 “Gimme the Light” visual.

More than just the island, the collection speaks to Thompson’s own cultural journey, shaped by his residences in Jamaica, New Jersey, and New York.

Commenting on the collection in a press release, he wrote, “When I embarked on the journey of sketching and sourcing fabrics for this collection, my mind wandered back to when I was 14, residing in New Jersey, and envisioning the world around me. My fascination with textures and prints took center stage, shaping how I aspired to present myself in this vast world. There were moments when I found the courage to express my style confidently, even as I navigated the challenges of understanding my own identity amidst the opinions of others.”

“This collection, I believe, is a continued celebration of identity. It represents the subsequent chapter following the homecoming theme, still carrying the banner for urban cities, along with the opulent sands and serene blue lagoons of Jamaica. I hold onto those nuanced memories as I ride the city bus to school, frolic in the park with my siblings, trace train tracks, and venture into suburban neighborhoods to admire those who enjoyed greater affluence than us.”

Check out some looks from the collection below photographed by César Buitrago.

Scott Sasso, the founder of #10Deep, announced his Scott Sasso, the founder of #10Deep, announced his departure from the streetwear brand he established 28 years ago in 1995. Renowned for pioneering captivating graphics such as the Knuckle Ring Tee, among other iconic designs, the brand achieved success by crafting impactful designs inspired by a fusion of hip hop, NYC skate culture and social consciousness.
 
Announcing the news on X, Sasso wrote, "It is done. What happened to MeccaUSA? What happened to AlphaNumeric? What happened to PNB? What happened to 10.Deep? The particulars of the stories are different, but all had 'partnerships' with the same company, and the results ended up being the same.

"Today my ties to 10.Deep were severed once and for all. Big bank, takes little bank. But with what goal? I'm not sure of the answer to that question is. I think of what I've seen with the other brands that share the a similar history."
