technical description
Fresh wool and silk suit constructed using traditional tailoring techniques, positioned in the centre of a rectangle reminiscent of a tablecloth on which a scene of a dinner has been printed through sublimation. This positional print has been respected in all the patterns so that clear continuity of the print is seen across the piping of the pockets, the lined buttons, pocket flaps, sleeves, shoulders, and collar. The jacket also matches the pants. The entire outline of the tablecloth features a strip of fresh blue wool that simulates the classic finishing of old tablecloths. Underneath the jacket is a blue nylon vest that has been digitally processed on a Shima Seiki machine. The blue wool beret features hand-sewn antique lamp rhinestones.
Size 2000x700x200mm, 2021
concept
Aitor's collection is a reflection and a celebration of the relationship with his father and how it shaped him as a person. His father died eight years prior and it was at that moment that he realised he did not know him. During the same period, he looked into himself to discover aspects of his own personality that came from his dad. He used to spend just four days a month with him, and have a meal together. While eating, sitting together at the table it was essential to connect. Dinners that would be full of nostalgia as they would always talk about the past, about things that had already happened, or about the future, of what was yet to come. The tablecloths and everything revolving around them - plates, food, napkins, objects, pictures of those gatherings - all became tools and building blocks for a wearable menswear collection charged with memories and romanticism.
