    Aitor Throup



    Hopefully I'm not reposting someone that's already been mentioned: Aitor Throup. I saw photos of his most recent collection sans an explanation, and after looking him up, I must say that I am very impressed overall. His outlook is fascinating, and at the very least, his newest collection has something which I think so much of fashion lacks: content. His pieces have something interesting to say; as near as I can tell, he is perhaps one of the most original new faces I have seen at least in the context of new ideas and new ways of looking at fashion. In this sense, although certainly not in the clothes, he reminds me of Chalayan, who often tries to find some sort of substance for his works. Chalayan is arguably perhaps more artistic in some ways, but Throup introduces to his process one of my other loves: comics. (I'm a bit of a dork, as well as a figure-drawing nut, so I accept all the baggage that entails)



    Anyway, judge for yourself. Here are two articles that discuss, first, his graduation collection, I believe:



    http://styleskilling.com/2006/10/11/...s-a-3-d-comic/



    And the same blog, discussing his ideas on "branding through construction:"



    http://styleskilling.com/2006/10/17/...-construction/



    Finally his website, which is only in addition to those other two far more interesting articles, as they share many, if not all, of the same images:

    Enjoy.

                          This guy can scetch. Oh my



                          However, I'm not too sure about how his comics revolving into fashion. There's a clear context but it feels this is more art than fashion.

                              i think that's the appeal, at least for me. do you not think carol christian poell is more art than fashion? It seems to me he often considers his art/message above the actual wearability of the garments he produces.
