Meet Theo Gesios, a Central St Martins alum who's been the creative force behind Marni, Givenchy, and Balenciaga. Now, as a freelance maestro, he's painting the fashion world with his own brush. Think bold, think color - that's Theo. Inspired by Italian painter Carol Rama, his work with Marni was nothing short of a chromatic symphony.

Theo's genius lies in his seamless blend of the old and the new. Picture this: vintage charm meets modern finesse, and what do you get? Art that you can wear. Other than looking good; it's about feeling good in something that's got a story. His recent collaboration is a wardrobe that's a playground of youth and sophistication, a dance between casual and formal. Imagine dressing up with a touch of rebellion and a smirk of elegance.

What I admire about Theo is his refusal to be boxed in. His designs are a conversation between eras, a flirtation between sporty and chic. There's something incredibly fresh yet nostalgically familiar about his creations. Some called it a declaration of freedom, some say it's an expression of joy.
