Design Unit

With my impending move into the fashion world I’ve been looking more and more at the designers and studios working in the sector. Design Unit – of Copenhagen – are certainly one of those whose work is an inspiration.

Aitor Throup

I’m a big fan of the work of Aitor Throup – especially his sketching and drawing style. Hailing from Argentina via a stopoff in tropical Burnley it is his hard work and attention to detail and structure that will make England  – even in the absence of right midfielder/fashion icon David Beckham – the best turned out team at this summer’s World Cup.
