Aitor Throup

This is the work of fashion designer Aitor Throup and his recent collaboration with C.P. Company and his reinvention of the 'Goggle Jacket'.

I have always loved Aitor Throup's work and the importance he places upon on function, and utility. His sketches are also amazing. Working from body casts or maquettes he creates toiles based on characters and their needs, in the exhibition at the RCA for this project his process of design was given as much importance as the finished jacket and its functions. The jacket has articulated pockets that actually change the shape of the jacket when the wearer is sitting down.





I just find his work truly fascinating - the concept of allowing the function to inform and dictate the aesthetic.
