Cool Hunting
Aiko by Carol T Chung
Niko Stumpo is half Norwegian and half Italian. He's worked as an art director for Wieden+Kennedy in Amsterdam. After having worked mostly in digital media, he wanted to take a more hands on approach and express himself with things people could touch. Aiko, which means "to bring love," is the by-product of his new found ways. He paints, prints table cloths, t-shirts, and hoodies. His work is quirky and cute with a touch of badass that I would be honored to rock. Sadly however, Niko has been having trouble finding distributors in the U.S. so that you all can go touch his stuff. Hopefully it'll all work out soon. By the way, the t-shirt on the left bears the motto, "Death Or Glory."

The one-night event also features a line-up of...

Squidfire Hoodie
Just over a year old, the Baltimore-based line Squidfire now boasts a whole range of goods hand-printed on manual presses with their original designs. In addition to Vans (actually hand-painted), messenger bags and a line for kids, they've recently introduced hoodies, like this "Workout" sweatshirt (pictured left, $45) that features overlapping images of a smiling 70's-era muscleman in red, blue and black on grey....

One True Saxon
We headed down to top British casualwear show To Be Confirmed last weekend, and every day this week, we're picking out our favourite finds. While a lot of labels here turn to foreign cultures for inspiration, One True Saxon is proud to look at the mundane in everyday British life for ideas, unashamedly plastering huge pictures of a caravan all over its exhibit. It's...

Umbro by Kim Jones
Umbro's known for making England's official football kit, but it's the brand's off-the-field designs by Kim Jones that have caught the eye. Drawing on terrace culture, Jones has created a capsule collection especially for the World Cup. Sticking largely to patriotic red, white and blue, the range liberally uses the red English rose motif, like in the hoodie above and the football below. Elsewhere, on...

Sensitivetype Hoodie
Shari Sakahara is an LA based graphic designer who won one of our Camonanos last month. As a thank you she sent us one of the hoodies that she makes and sells. How we missed this before, I don't know, but I'm glad to see it now. Why advertise your alma matter or home town on your hoodie when you can hype your favorite...
