​ABOUT TILLYandWILLIAM​

 

 

Creators Jessica Lapidos and Thomas Barranca form Tilly and William respectively. Tilly has the award-winning design background, vigor for innovative pattern making, and a personal style that had previously upheld her two-year Fashion Editorship for FashionIndie. William brings a sexually intellectual standpoint as he continues to study creative writing and gender studies at the New School. He balances Tilly’s boundless conceptual designs with his sharp stylist’s edge.
 
Together, TILLYandWILLIAM have invented original transformable and gender unbiased pieces that build together to create an infinite whole. One single garment fits the body in multiple configurations, thus the ability to share and wear over again becomes usefully addictive. Using strictly the softest textiles with the highest form of function, the clothing is softer than silk, washable, breathable, waterproof, stainproof, stretchy, flowy and body shaping, all while being kind to our planet.
 
Color and print are always original. In the AW13, Tilly used natural dyes to color the collection on her modest stovetop. For SS14, they’ve taken their own road trip photos and manipulated them into prints printed in Brooklyn.
 
TILLYandWILLIAM has shown their first two seasons on the runway at New York Fashion Week, using dancers within the show to artfully demonstrate just how possible it is to transform one garment into another and share with the other.
