Aitor Throup is a mens wear designer that moved to Burnley in 1992. Hes designs are unusual and quirky, using 3D elements he works with gas masks and anatomy throughout his designs. Some of the fashion he creates is extremely loose and not fitted, which participially interests me as it fits in with androgyny.
I have been investigating war uniforms and how they relate to the masculinity and typography within the building. These garments remind me very much of war uniforms and Aitor has used helmets and masks to cover the face. Theres something hidden about his garments, like hes hiding the persons identity and unifying people to make them as one.

Aitor takes his inspiration from the brands Stone Island and C.P Company, both of which do structured mens wear design. Stone Islands shits are extremely structured and the colours are dull greens and blacks or pure whites, this is the colour scheme I want to work with.
Stone Island also have a logo which features on nearly all of their shirts, I am thinking about creating some kind of logo for my garment/s.
