THEO AW 23-24 Co-Ed collection, ‘THE CORE’, is a bold and visionary leap forward into the future, rooted in the brand’s foundational philosophy. This season’s offerings continue to explore the concept of blurring boundaries, with distinctive features that define the essence of the brand’s DNA. With its powerful silhouettes and agender notes, the collection is an ode to the effortless attractiveness of everyday clothing.
Inspired by a mysterious cyber-generated world, ‘THE CORE’ is a vision of high-voltage contrasts, where the naive true odd beauty is juxtaposed with aggressively exaggerated volumes and stiff established forms. It’s a world where the THEO Hero is defined by a mystery connection of the Rebel and Magician nature – a code that everyone can discover through mastery developed and risk-taking outfits.
