The Funeral of New Orleans - Part One
Still from Aitor Throup & Jez Tozer's film The Funeral of New Orleans - Part One
Launching simultaneously with his first on-schedule catwalk presentation as part of the MAN showcase at London Fashion Week, watch menswear designer Aitor Throup's film collaboration with photographer Jez Tozer, The Funeral of New Orleans - Part One. A narrative response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Throup's collection tells the story of how five members of a marching band protect themselves and their instruments, which are interpreted through the cut and structure of the garments. See how Throup's acclaimed research process lends itself to motion image.
Beautiful aesthetics !....but I'm wondering after having read the concept......are the fabrics used totally or partially waterproof ?...it seems from here that the garment and attachments were made of heavy wool....
