Aitor Throup | When football hooligans become hindu gods
Aitor Throup | When football hooligans become hindu gods | collection-winner ITS-FIVE
For Aitor, it is not just about clothes, it's about characters living and evolving in his head, each with their own individual story. This collection is about a group of hooligans who begin to doubt their deep rooted beliefs in the organised violence underworld of football club loyalty. A racist attack is the episode which brings to light the negative reality of a violent lifestyle to a group of eight soon-to-be hooligan "outcasts". Aitor showcases the characters' individual attempt at not only converting to hinduism, but of becoming hindu gods. Every outfit represents a specific hindu god and is based on a generic military garment.
