Aitor Throup


Just in case there was any question about whether fashion is (or can be) art or if it's just some handbag with a logo repeated 1000 times...




Aitor Throup is an English designer fresh out of school and already making some incredible art. The picture below contains part of an article about his collection "The Funeral of New Orleans." The collection tells the story of 5 musicians in New Orleans trying to survive Katrina and ultimately sacrificing themselves to save their instruments. It's pretty amazing.

I highly encourage you to go watch the video (make sure your sound is on!) of the outfits of the five musicians transforming from protection of self to protection of the instrument.
