Theodore Elyett was only thirteen years old when he was “discovered,” after he designed an outfit for a friend to wear in a modelling competition in the Bahamas. Since then, he has created award-winning gowns for the Miss Bahamas Pageant, and was a winner of the Bahamian competition Runway to Fashion Week and last year’s Mission Catwalk, the Jamaican reality TV show. Elyett perfected his craft at some of the most prestigious fashion schools in New York and London, and is currently working on his much-anticipated 2014 collection. He’s a force to be reckoned with, designing clothes with character and personality for the world-travelling woman who dares to be different.
