"This could be our purest collection yet. I looked at the traditional Japanese 'Gakuran' boys school uniform for inspiration. For me, their specific darkest navy palette setups, subtly accented with their crisp white collars peeking out, had this absolute purity to it which I loved." – Nick Wakeman, Founder & Creative Director of Studio Nicholson.
Introducing the Studio Nicholson Summer Module collection, rich with lightweight textural fabrications in reinterpreted silhouettes. Engineered to be warm-weather functional with a distinctly pared-back attitude, the polished 15-piece uniform has been crafted in modern blend linens, Japanese typewriter cottons and breathable wools.
Moodboard references include traditional Japanese Gakuran school uniforms, as Studio Nicholson’s signature take on relaxed tailoring remains paramount whilst balancing ease and utility. Arriving in a strict palette of darkest navy and parchment, the Fola jacket and Sonny pants have been meticulously crafted into antique wool linen sets for a sophisticated yet roomy look. Pair with the Starboard holiday short, silk View shirt or textured matelasse Sanko shirt for endless summer layering combinations.
Slub linen viscose provides a bold but breezy laid-back slouch to the Roversi and Fume suit. Honest and pure with an artisanal feel, the clever composition of the soft viscose gives the linen stability for maximum ease. The paper yarn Kami crew neck has a cool hand feel for added breathability and texture, whilst super soft Japanese typewriter cotton has been cut perfectly to play with roomy proportions. Produced in graphite, the Fola jacket is a modern take on the iconic Harrington with a longer sleeve and slight crop on the waist, reinvigorating a classic alongside the roomy Mura pant.
Quotidian Summer wardrobing isn’t complete without clean, crisp shirts. Produced in dense cotton, the best-selling short-sleeved Sorono shirt offers generous proportions whilst the newly introduced Nick shirt offers a reinvented take on the grandad collar. The Rafe shirt, produced in an almost-sheer linen provides the perfect amount of drape for a layered look or simply worn by itself tucked into a washed black denim pant.
The men’s Summer Module collection will launch exclusively online for Loyalty System members on Wednesday 23rd April. The collection will be available in store and to the public online from Thursday 24th April. Sign up here.
