Cuckoo's Nest Clothing - Summer Prints

Cuckoo's Nest is a British brand (from Manchester to be more exact) born out of an appreciation for street wear and the sensibility for avant garde graphic design and print making.
Graphic design and printmaking lay at the heart of the brand, with a desire to defy convention and push boundaries. The surrealist manifestation of bold classic images gives Cuckoos Nest the ability to infect the consciousness of many subcultures and genres.

U.Mi-1 Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

U.Mi-1 was established in Japan, 2008 by Gozi Ochnogor. Gozi studied menswear tailoring, but also engineering which she incorporates in to her designs. Every season she invites a Japanese artist or architect to collaborate and bring elements of their work in to the design on part of the collection.

The key pattern this season is the Prince of Wales seen in suits

and shorts. The shirts are colour blocks of blue and cream....

or blue and white

Contrasting coloured and textured strips accent the tailored trousers and jackets..

...Whilst slashes revealing a darker colour add depth. Shirts range from the standard collar to collarless.

And the suit jackets from standard lapels to the madarin collar.

For casual wear, the trouser is adorned with open zips for texture.

And shirt and shorts are given a bolder check.

The Summer Shirt - Say it with Flowers.

After reading the last article on the Hawaiian shirt ( you did read it didn't you?), then if the Hawaiian shirt doesn’t float your surf board why not try this Paul Smith navy floral shirt from Urban Outfitters.

Paul Smith floral shirt

It will just get you dipping your toes in the water with the bolder patterns.

Was £110 now on sale £70.  100% cotton. www.urbanoutfitters.co.uk

Travelling on from bold and bright Hawaii, dig your Cuban heels in for the more subtle design of Joe Brown’s Havana vintage floral shirt.

Next floral print shirt

Mix floral prints with military epaulettes and double breasted pockets. These are great to draw the eye to the shoulders and away from the tummy area. Price £28 www.next.co.uk

Aloha to the Hawaiian Shirt

The advantage of the short sleeved shirt is that you can go overboard with the pattern, so why not splash out with the Hawaiian shirt? Well you either love them or you hate them, but they do conjure up images of surf, sea and sand and are making a comeback as a retro summer look.

Tesco Hawaiian shirt

They look best as a holiday shirt and if you are conscious of your tummy, they make a great cover up with shorts or swimwear whilst on the beach. 

Above image is of Tesco F&F Hawaiian shirt at £12 and £16 for the shorts.

www.direct.tesco.com

Originally called the ‘Aloha’ shirt, Chinese merchant Ellery Chun and his sister started creating these brightly coloured floral shirts in the 1930’s from kimono fabric which soon became a hit with the tourists, local residents and surfers alike. And the King of Rock, Elvis Presley was often seen wearing one in his younger days. 

Seersucker Shirts - the Fabric of Milk and Sugar just right for the Summer Heat

OK not actually made from milk and sugar. Its name just originates from the Persian words ‘shir o shekar’ meaning ‘milk and sugar’ which apparently describes the smooth surface (milk) mixed with the bumpy texture (sugar)

This crinkly look is due to slack tension weaving mixed with normal tension which allows the fabric to breath and air to circulate freely against the skin, so keeping the wearer cool and dry. Plus you don’t need to iron, it’s meant to look crinkled. So it's an ideal fabric for the hot summer months and for travelling.

Seersucker shirts usually come in plaid or stripes.

Go for Lands’ End button down collar in fresh spring mountain green plaid.

Or their rich red Bengal Stripe.

Both priced at £25 www.landsend.co.uk

If you don’t like the crinkles, then there is always the Madras shirt. It may have a hot name but the light open weave of this cotton will keep you cool. Here in bright cyan and orange clay plaid. Price £25
