Aitor Throup

Albert, you really need to get a copy of SZ volume 4. Everything is explained there. Aitor and I really went deep into his design process.

Also, you need to see the Mongolia coat IRL. THAT will blow your mind.

I need issue 4! Yes, the Mongolian Riders coat is seeeeeerious. One if my favourite pieces from the range that was shown.

Just to be clear, the 'paratrooper' jacket they are referring to here is called the 'Veil' Jacket and is part of the concept narrative collection 'Under the effects of Ethnic Stereotypes' (along with the Stockwell denim jacket, skull racksack & Stockwell jeans).

The Veil Jacket is pictured here over the Stockwell Denim jacket and fully attaches itself to it with an elastic hook type system. The Stockwell Denim acts as the base layer (although the Veil can be worn independently). The 'Veil' interior pockets shown in the Stockwell Denim interior photos also attach and are sold separately.




The new skull bag will be produced in a new fabric (not this one pictured, this is the old style). The price increase is due to necessary cost increases in producing the skulls bags. The initial skull bags ended up being a loss for Aitor, in efforts to keep the cost down.

I can assure you that these prices are not inflated in the slightest and Aitor's team has worked hard to keep the costs as low as possible.

That said, I am very excited for this to arrive in-store

Thanks, looking forward to see the new fabric skull bag.

yes, from what i've handled I understand each narrative theme as modular, a physical manifestation of thematic elements. it's at once clever and silly. I gotta hand it to the guy, he gave himself enough time to construct a rhetoric that sells better than the clothes will. I think that in of itself will be his great accomplishment.

HLorenzo has a preview of the collection including some items not carried by railso. Lots more accessories are being shown off too, the new skull bag looks phenomenal.

I think I just ruined the hat for myself... Can't stop imagining it as a duck bill now.

You could always wear the hat with mask down

A traditional duck bill typically has a slightly upturned peak



The masked hat has a longer and sharper silhouette.

[diorowen]

I think the hat looks fine. similar silhouette as duck bill doesnt stop me from liking it either. haha.

@sue,
the runway photo is not from FW right?
there is 2 iteration of the hat. one with full mask, and another one with half mask.
as far as I know, the half mask one is for FW, and full mask one is from SS?
just curious, since the photo ambrosian post from Railso looks like the one with full mask, compared to the one posted in H/lorenzo which looks like half mask.

The runway photo is ancient, from 06/07. The other photo is more recent, from the London Fashion week earlier this year. You can see more here. Ha, didn't spot the difference between railso and hlorenzo pics. I just assumed the photo angle hlorenzo used was deceiving.

THE NEW COLLECTION HITS THE STORES

[palgrave]

Awesome jacket Faust. But the price at >$7000 is just as awesome, unfortunately!

THE NEW COLLECTION HITS THE STORES

Atelier first up with fit pics.

The pants!!!!

The jacket, shirt and pants would be quite the trifecta... its nice to use the zoom function on the A website to get an even closer look at some of the aspects of the construction and details. Really blows my mind especially on the pants. Are those magnetic closures for the flaps?

[cjbreed]

they are all incredible pieces. no doubt. but of these 3 i can't really see myself wearing any of them. a little too hi-tech for me i think...

[Chinorlz]

It's definitely a ways away from my standard "old man" look with a blazer, pants and black shirt but I think the Aitor pants could be integrated easily into a more casual look with a solid tee/jumper and even some sneakers.
