‘The Rite of Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter’ New Object Research collection

On the 12 June 2016 during London Collections: Men, Aitor Throup presented his highly-anticipated 'New Object Research' collection, titled ‘The Rite of Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter', on six life-size articulated sculptures.

The articulated sculptures - acting as performing puppets during the show, aided by a team of London's best puppeteers - physically expressed the emotion and energy in Throup's autobiographical narrative.

From the 14 June - 6 of July 2016, Aitor Throup exhibited all six of the life-sized articulated sculptures from the runway show on the ground floor of Dover Street Market in London.
