Aitor Throup: a rising star

Aitor Throup is only 26 years old. Nevertheless, an immense quantity of top-notch awards he has won - including collection of the year by the International Talent Support - the Royal College of Art Society, - the I-D Style award - and he dazzles the eye of the critics every time he presents one of his pieces.

Considering himself not a fashion designer, but a full-time artist, he proclaims to elaborate separate elements. Basing his past artsy designs on, not "so" trendy, hooligans and the combination of violence and creativity, he constructed a very modernized, very artistic, vision of the young English man. Forget the stereotyped English dandy and prepare yourself to be amused by the aesthetics of the Argentinean born designer.

Capturing the essence of his work, some renown fashion labels have offered him high-ranked positions - none of them were accepted by Aitor. " I'm not desperate for a job", he stated recently; the deep appreciation for his work thrives him to avoid any other type of projects, and to focus on his personal work.
