Transformative

The design duo behind TILLYAndWILLIAm, Jessica Lapdios and Tom Barranca, intended to create a gender-neutral clothing collection that emphasized comfort and could be worn by a number of different body types. Wanting to establish a line that “could transform with each different wearer”, each garment they offer could be worn in various ways. Tired of fashion having to choose between for and function, they wanted “to allow its wearer full movement of their body.” The brand tends to target the queer community, with the intention of providing the wearer a sense of freedom from labels. All of their products are manufactured locally.
