WILD COLLECTION

Jim Thompson x Bill Bensley

An exclusive collaboration bringing the spirit of Southeast Asia’s rainforests to life, transforming Bill Bensley’s expressive paintings into fashion, accessories and home décor inspired by the rainforest and its wildlife.

THE SPIRIT OF THE WILD

Inspired by the wildlife and stories of Southeast Asia’s rainforests, Wild brings together Bill Bensley’s imaginative visual language and Jim Thompson’s textile expertise and craftsmanship.

Through Bensley’s playful lens, the rainforest comes to life in paintings filled with richly layered foliage, vibrant colours and distinctive animal characters. Transformed into menswear, womenswear, accessories and home décor, each piece celebrates the beauty and diversity of the wild, its inhabitants and the importance of protecting the natural world.

STORIES FROM THE RAINFOREST

Across the collection, Bill Bensley’s expressive paintings bring the rainforest to life through richly layered foliage and a cast of distinctive animal characters. Ella the Elephant, Douglas the Dhole, Tony the Tiger and Ollie the Owl are among its imagined inhabitants, with their personalities and markings recurring throughout the collection.

The artworks have been transformed into menswear, womenswear, silk scarves, bags and home décor. Animal markings and forest imagery appear as all-over patterns, individual motifs and playful accents, bringing the spirit of the wild into everyday life.

The Print

WILD CACTUS

The Rainforest is packed with plants that look as though they were designed by a dramatic artist. Towering hardwoods with buttress roots, twisty lianas, rattan vines and palms create a wild mix of textures beneath the canopy.

Massive dipterocarp trees rise as the true giants of the forest, while spiky pandanus plants, ferns and mosses give it an “ancient temple reclaimed by nature” mood. Everything grows everywhere—up, sideways and on top of each other. It is chaotic in the best way.

This pattern draws from the twisty vines, giant leaves, sculptural plants and bold textures of a forest that refuses to be tamed. A lively snapshot of the rainforest's lush, mischievous plant world.

RAINFOREST FLARE

The Rainforest Flare was inspired by the idea that the forest never has a quiet day. Leopards, pangolins, crocodiles, kouprey, birds and other wild inhabitants are always crossing paths, creating harmless trouble and entertaining chaos.

The creatures come together in one lively moment—sneaking snacks, showing off their distinctive patterns and playfully minding one another’s business. Spots, scales, horns and feathers intertwine in an energetic celebration of the forest and its wildlife.

The result captures the forest on its busiest day: wild, playful, full of personality and impossible to look at without smiling.

DHOLE DIVE

“Wild Dholes of the Rainforest” began with one simple truth: dholes can never stay still. If they are not zooming, leaping or chasing absolutely nothing, something must be seriously wrong.

In this print, the dholes take over the jungle as though it were their personal obstacle course. They hop over giant mushrooms, squeeze between oversized leaves, poke their noses into everyone else’s business and start races no one agreed to join.

Birds scatter, lizards panic, and the entire forest becomes a dhole-approved playground, full of movement, energy and playful chaos.
