concept

It was never about just clothes but the characters living and evolving in Aitor’s head. Each with their own individual story. In this collection a group of hooligans begin to doubt their deep rooted beliefs in organised violence within the underworld of football club loyalty. A racist attack is the episode that triggers a reflection into the negative reality of a violent lifestyle. Referencing the anatomy of the human body in specific postures, the uber-functionality of military garments and brands like CP Company and Stone Island, Aitor showcased each character's individual attempt to rise from the ashes transforming into a hindu god. Every outfit represents a specific hindu god and is based on a generic military garment.
