/fa/ - Fashion

>>9822452
clothes are only a part of what aitor does - he's also done creative consulting (directing, animating, designing, etc.) for damon albarn, kasabian and flying lotus. he's also done collaborations with CP Company and Stone Island, and is currently working with G-Star Raw (not even joking)

aitor's stuff is created in very small batches because it's so design-intensive: the fabric is sewn end-to-end with no seam allowances, the materials are all developed from the bottom up by aitor and his team and every piece of clothing is created by his team in his studio.

AFAIK he makes shirts, pants, and jackets, all with a heavy focus on function - tons of pockets, configurations, anatomical functions, etc. the main reason it's not very present in internet fashion is that it's pretty rare and exceedingly expensive - the jackets are $5k+ i think.

follow him on instagram to see a ton of his sketches, really cool shit

>>9822452
>>9822495
also, here's a sick video of him molding a body sculpture of Noomi Rapace

>the jackets are $5k+
Damn, that's a lot. I'll check out his collabs, though.

Like, I'd at least want to see what he had input into, even if it's not that crazy, tricked out techwear shit he does (though the more the merrier with stuff like that if it's coming from him).

>>9822700
yeah AT stuff is more akin to stuff like CCP than other techwear, in terms of creation and pricing structure. definite grails for techwear dudes

if it's too expensive for you errolson's stuff at ACR and SISP is in a similar vein but more affordable (though still expensive)

Which designers does Aitor like? He must have someone he mainly buys clothes from.

>>9822786
it looks like he dresses "normal" in the video i posted

>>9822518
white tee, lightwash/grey skinny jeans pinrolled, af1 mids, dark hat

>>9822786
Nah he dresses like a pleb. Lost of designers aren't really into wearing designer clothing for some reason, I guess they see clothing more as art rather than something to be worn. Others wear "uniforms" like Lagerfield, Raf, and the dudes from Public School I forget their names. Others only wear their own shit, obviously to promote it like Tisci, and Rick. But people like Aitor who makes clothing that are more conceptual so to speak tend to dress like anyone else, take for example Sruli Recht his clothing is brilliant and beautiful yet he certainly doesn't dress using its aesthetic.

>>9822939
I guess it's like how musicians don't necessarily listen to the same kinds of music they make, and music listeners/audiophiles don't always make music.

(I'm more of a /mu/tant, honestly, and I just find that parallel interesting. Many there don't necessarily make music, and I'm sure that's the case for /fa/ too, in terms of making clothes)

>>9822939
Well, as cool as some of the more conventional shit is, some of the more artsy/out-there stuff is definitely impractical to wear on the street.

Also, I guess considering how expensive his shit is, maybe it's just better for him financially to sell whatever he can than wear them himself.

more stone island collab

>>9823056
Damn, dat nigga asploded.

hugh errolson in the cpc 20th anniversary jacket designed by aitor throup

dumping some stuff

hahaha it isn't techwear if it doesn't have a pointless diagram

>Throup’s version of the jacket was constructed on a full-size sculpture of the human form in driving position, but also tailored in a new way so that the actual shape of the jacket could literally morph from a standing to a driving position with minimal fabric build up and maximum comfort around the waist and arms. This was achieved with two intelligently engineered fabric panels at the sides of the jacket which could be activated by zips as and when needed. The hood was completely redesigned to be anatomically accurate and allow a driving helmet to be worn inside it. The placement of the watch window was reconsidered so that the driver wouldn’t have to twist his wrist to glance at the time, and the goggles became both more ergonomic and more reminiscent of the Mille Miglia’s 1920s origins. Linings and features were made detachable, and Throup managed to create the first garment in history to have been made from GORE_TEX which was consequently garment dyed by Tinto Terra, the highly innovative treatment which uses cultivated soil pigments and bonds them onto fabrics. This gave the typically flat and very modern feel of GORE-TEX the look of an antique.

Don't forget that FlyLo mask, that FlyLo mask is legit.

I saw it during his show at NYC and the glowing eyes were pretty cool. It's also not nearly as tacky-looking as the deadmau5 head-type stuff. More subtle and symbolic (though that's easy to miss in a club with lasers).

>>9823161
in what way is it pointless? it showcases every single panel, seam and pocket in a way that you'd never see from a regular garment sketch

>>9823174

>>9823191

>>9823198
That Destiny logo on the crotch tho

>>9822728
CP Company is not CCP...

>>9823223
i think he's actually comparing aitor to carol

>>9823184
yeah but only techwear brands use it to sell their product - even raw denim brands have similar pattern diagrams but they don't show em off

i don't mind em and i think they're cool - it's just a transparent marketing move to include it in ads and stuff like that

>>9823231
seems like an obvious choice when you're producing technical products where features and details might not be immediately noticeable. same reason you always see paragraphs of technical specs.

>>9823228
Only in terms of anatomical construction, but almost every highend techwear brand does that. I guess you could consider both Aitor and Poells love for more concept based pieces is similar. But besides that I really wouldn't agree with them being too similar.

Yo Dada if you are lurking this thread could you give us some info on the Aitor Throup insertion (?). It looks amazing in these pictures and I'm sure you had a part in the design in the store. Would love to hear about the process and what Throup is like in person.

>>9823179

>>9822990
Most of /fa/ doesn't even really care about fashion, they just want to dress well. Originally reddit was for that but these days the lines are blurred. Threads like this give me hope tho.

Ironically I try to learn and be educated about fashion but I've never even touched a high end piece because I'm poor as fuck. But I try to do the most with what I have and when I can finally afford it I'll hopefully do good.

>>9823392
is his pocket square made of 3m material? lol

>>9823257
both aitor and carol only make pieces in their atelier, rather than in factories, making the batches small, the clothes rare and $$$$$$

that's what i was driving at

>>9823528
So do many other designers though... That doesn't make them very similar though

>aitor's stuff is created in very small batches because it's so design-intensive: the fabric is sewn end-to-end with no seam allowances, the materials are all developed from the bottom up by aitor and his team and every piece of clothing is created by his team in his studio.

in other words, its thrown together by a bunch of unskilled chink girls in a sweatshop somewhere in vietnam, then marked up 1000% for retarded people wiling to pay ridiculous sums for something dubbed 'art'. jokes on you. also, checkmate , atheists.

>>9823520
The mask is of Aitor Throup's design.

Don't know about the rest of FlyLo's outfit, though, but probably not.

>>9823535
most designers have ateliers where they design the clothing, and factories where they manufacture it

very few only use an atelier and only produce with their design team

>>9823537
go to fuccboi general or something if you want to shitpost

>>9823561
Most designers just coming out of school starting their own brands work completely from their ateliers.... If they are going to factories they're still doing very small runs more than likely.

So what's like this, except doesn't cost five grand for every item?

>>9823980
honestly at that price point it's in a league all it's own

if you think of it as techwear anything Errolson Hugh makes is similar - same with regular Stone Island and CP Company

Bump

>>9825438
The fuck is that saxophone-looking thing?

>>9825535
A saxophone case...

>>9825535
>>9825614
lmao

>>9825614
lol that makes sense haha

>>9823392
higher detail of the mask?

>>9827270

>>9827357
neat

overdesigned fetish objects for dudes who want to be video game characters.

>>9827708
It's clearly not meant for everyday casual wearing. Some of his stuff (like the Death Veil Mask) are literally costumes, anyway.

Still, the stuff he makes are cool, and the ones that approach "ordinary" fashion would definitely be interesting to have (like the Skull Backpack).

bump

>>9822700
G star 3d denim is very likely aitor's work

>>9823050
Nah his finances have nothing to do with his clothing choices afaik, most likely thats based off his personal value system which is fine. The reason he teamed up with g star and those other companies are very likely financial driven tho.

Which is funny in comparisson to works by jan jan van essche who also makes labour intensive stuff, smaller production lots but at the same time he likes wearing what he makes

>>9827721
There are two on ebay right now. Seller wants to trade instead of sell outright.

>>9828339
Of course it is. He's doing consultant work for them.

>>9828406
>There are two on ebay right now
Damn, they're expensive. I really wish they'd sell more copies of the Death Veil Mask, though. I probably wouldn't cop anyway, since I can't justify the price, but as a hardcore Flying Lotus fan, I'd like to own one sometime.

>>9828406
Yes i realize that, i was getting at that anon's request for a more accessible item by Aitor. On that note, how much of creative freedom do you guys think Aitor has with his collab/consultancy work?

>>9829602
>how much of creative freedom do you guys think Aitor has with his collab/consultancy work?
Well, I'd guess he's pretty restricted with the degree to which his inputs affect the end product. When you're helping a larger company, presumably their needs come way before yours.

>>9827357
would wear the far right in public

>>9833394
Thats what flylo is wearing at his shows now, creepy af. Wish I could afford Aitor Throup, this jacket is 4000 euros and out of stock

>>9823269
Bumping while correcting you. The word you wanted was installation not insertion :)

>>9823980
nothing, that's sort of the point. It's clothing taken to an extreme in terms of construction and materials.

>>9833424
Damn, that's really cool. The veil would be useful in the winter, too.

I'm assuming those gloves are detachable.

>>9833469
I'm sure there are stuff at least somewhat similar in lower price points. Of course, it'll be nowhere near close as good as Aitor Throup's stuff, but that's a given.
