Thompson, a 2021 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Finalist, aimed to celebrate his Jamaican heritage. After the pandemic paused travel to the island’s lush beaches, a collection titled Air Jamaica, did just that.
The front row included other noteworthy Black designers including Kerby Jean-Raymond and Brandon Blackwood, and stylist Law Roach. The room was an oasis of red from the runway carpet to the drapes to the chairs. Red is not only a color in the Rastafarian flag, but also one of Edvin’s favorite colors right now. The energy erupted as soon as the first designs made their way down the runway.
