Now it’s time for Aitor to demonstrate how ideas can extend into commercial realms. Last Saturday in Paris, he did just that – offering a debut collection simply entitled, Legs.
Being Aitor, he has dispensed with the idea of a fully rounded collection of separates. Throup is the ultimate purist and it is not naivety that motivates him to start with a collection of just three trousers. Rather, a justifiable pride on his work output over the past five years. Yes, he is starting with a retrospective of designs that have been carefully honed into three designs. Essence refined.

This isn’t to say he’s not strong on shirts, or jackets. Or even shoes. Throup has covered all of these before. But he wants to introduce each menswear element on its own terms. And his.
Pop applauds Aitor Throup’s dedicated approach to Justified Design.
