C.P. Company has been producing its iconic Goggle jacket for Italy’s Mille Miglia auto race since the late eighties, but for the 20th anniversary jacket they called in British designer Aitor Throup.

Throup redesigned the body shape to simulate a driving posture, waterproofed the seams and pockets, and modified details like goggle shape to improve their utility. His design is on view through the end of the Milan Furniture Fair today at C.P. Company’s showroom, where a selection of the past 20 years’ worth of jackets dare also on display.

Another debut at Salone this year was Modular Anatomy, the first installment of what looks to be an interesting collaboration between Stone Island and young fashion designer Aitor Throup. The project involves the construction of an ostensibly traditional down jacket pieced together in small parts using separate, individually filled cushion segments.

Throup’s design philosophy starts with the human form and allows the garment to evolve organically, hence the building-block approach rather than a more conventional construction using sleeves, armholes and body panels. His five-stage process was showcased at Stone Island’s Milan showroom during Salone and can be viewed in our gallery, above.
