Considered a rising star in the Bahamian fashion circuit, 29-year-old Fashion Designer Theodore Elyett is also making tremendous waves throughout the region as he recently snagged first place in Mission Catwalk Season3; placing him a stitch above the rest as the best in the region among emerging fashion talents.

His big win at Mission Catwalk will afford the young designer a chance to showcase his eponymous label at London Fashion Week, a scholarship to the prestigious London College of Arts and a retail contract with a chain of boutiques in Jamaica.

In 2012 Elyett was named The Bahamas' Designer of the Year by leading Bahamian online fashion publication Stylezine.

Since 2010, Elyett's eponymous label has been featured on the cover and inside pages of every local fashion publication - Profiles98 Magazine, Nu Woman Magazine and CaMari Magazine.

Elyett also captured international attention when featured in VOGUE ITALIA's The Black Blog and ESSENCE MAGAZINE BLOG.

He's the champion of Runway To Fashion Week Designer Competition, the recipient of the Harl TaylorBAG 2010 Scholarship, an award winning gown and costume designer for Miss Bahamas Universe and the 2005 recipient of The Bahamas' Ministry of Youth's JA- Recognition of Excellence for outstanding achievement in Fashion Design and Entrepreneurial Skills.

Elyett's fashion portfolio dates back to 1998 when he emerged as a 13 year old award winning designer. Since then, he has built a portfolio in Nassau, the Caribbean, South America, North America, Africa and Asia.

His design label is: Theodore Elyett.
