Research- Fashion Futures

AITOR THROUP

I would like to make a post on Aitor Throup, a true artist, who got introduced to me last week during Frieze fair.

He hold his installations and selection of his items at Dover Street Market.
From lookbooks to his web-site, everything he does is based on workaholic attitude to making a creation of his design perfect and a product of a high quality


His work includes creative direction of Kasabian and curating and creating pieces for set-designs.



He told me about his web-site that got launched last week
"We found a computer geek that first promised he'd make our ideas happen and turn into a web-site within a year and a half, as it was a very crazy idea. But he gave me a call a few days after, that was one weekend after, really, and came with a preview of our actual idea happen. Apparently he got so annoyed that he made it happen so much earlier. I love working with these people"

He also said that whatever is there in his corner of Dover street Market store, is good, he is happy when it sells, but he is way more happy to produce and be engaged in a process of research of forms and how he can manipulate new technologies.
