Throup, has been a favorite for a while. He has the ability to work on such a clean palate. While he continually is pushing the boundaries of design, architecture and function. Throup always creates such a progressive statement either with his brand or avec’ un collabration… Aitor Throup is genius….not to mention he is hot!
AITOR THROUP
Throup’s “LEGS” retrospective is amazingly refreshing. He has taken his brand and minute fragment of American History/Culture and concurrently fused this exhibit .
A.T. worked in some form of thermal-cotton mesh and molded it down into what appears to be male figurines… We see an array of expression, but, the most stand out is that of his trouser Hommage.
Throup mimics the physical gestures of a New Orleans traditional funeral processions (marching band), and replicates the garnered procession with fashion armor. While his collection of trousers prevails the 5 steps of intense shrinkage, when wool is exposed to water..?. Amazing! Keep on marching to the beat of your own drum!
