GUIDE 2 FASHION50

GUIDE 2 FASHION 51From tangy tropicals to girly gingham and all kinds of snazzy stripes, Katie Wright maps out the patterns to see you through summer.

Some of the biggest - and best - trends to emerge from the spring/summer collections were the bold, technicoloured prints that designers emblazoned on their catwalk creations.

From Matthew Williamson’s Hawaiian palms to Preen’s graphic stripes, these cool motifs have found a home on the high street too, in the form of standout dresses, versatile separates and whimsical accessories.

And there’s no better time than high summer to work a cool new pattern (or several) into your wardrobe.These are the prints to be seen in this season...

Take to the TropicsSay aloha to palm fronds and hibiscus blooms, as seen in Matthew Williamson’s seductive Honolulu-inspired SS15 collection.

Make a palm print dress the focus of an after-dark outfi t, adding this season’s chunky Seventies sandals, a raffi a mini bag and kitsch jewellery.

Tropical prints don’t always have to be super-bright, however. Pair separates, like shorts, a crop top or blazer, with navy or black for a more grown-up vibe that feels right for that tricky not-quite-autumn period.

Have a gingham fl ingIt was patently clear who Diane von Furstenberg had in mind while designing her SS15 collection - the backcombed bouffants and miles of gingham owed a debt to Brigitte Bardot, who loved the print so much, she got married in it in 1959.

Follow suit by playing up the feminine feel of picnic blanket check in a gingham skater dress, or a blouse tucked into a fl ared skirt.

Toughen up this playful print by pairing monochrome with leather or denim, or

go head-to-toe in gingham co-ords. A word of warning, though: when mixing prints, keep either the colour or the size of the check the same to avoid a gingham mishmash.

Make your fl orals popFlorals are around in one form or another every season, so how to give them a new lease of life? Take a leaf (quite literally) out of Erdem’s book with feathery 3D foliage and textured fl owers.

Erdem’s hothouse blooms were darkly verdant, but there are lots of light, summery occasionwear dresses around now, featuring lace, tapework, embroidery and sequins.

With these attention-seeking pieces, it’s best to keep the rest of your ensemble simple, so forgo fl oral jewellery in favour of sleek metallic pieces and a compact bag.

Supersize your stripesStripes waved goodbye to their nautical connotations this season, with Preen leading the charge on the catwalks, where uneven red, black and white bands were more reminiscent of barcodes than Breton tops.

Follow Preen’s prescription and keep your colour palette to a minimum on striped garments - black, white and a bright is the ideal equation.

For more regular horizontal patterns, take your cue from the Dries van Noten catwalk, where dark pastels and candy stripes in luxe fabrics looked cool and fresh.Now inprint

GUIDE 2 FASHION10

Richard Herring is back with his 11th consecutive

stand-up tour in 11 years. Having previously tackled big themes such as politics (Hitler Moustache), religion (Christ on a Bike), love (What Is Love, Anyway?) and death (We’re All Going to Die!) he’s taken a different tangent for his new show, Lord of The Dance Settee, based on a misheard line from a hymn.

On the day Guide 2’s Chris Broom caught up with Richard, he was on his way to a gig in Newcastle.

How is the tour going and what’s it about this time?‘It’s ever-growing because extra dates keep on getting added, I think it’s about 80 dates now.

‘It’s a load of stuff from my life. I’ve done “Big Themes” with my previous shows, and I wanted to do something

with a bit more storytelling, without any obvious connection this time.

‘It’s a bit about looking back and looking forward. Lord of The Dance Settee was a joke I did in Lee and Herring (his early ‘90s show with Stewart Lee) and I talk about one of the first jokes I did. A lot of the stories come from being a child, then a teenager, then a mid-life crisis and where I am now and looking at my place in the world.

‘It’s really just funny stories. I think you could watch it without realising there is any kind of connection at all, but it does kind of come together at the end.

So, is there a theme? A lot of the reviews I’ve read seem to have missed that.‘Well, I do start off by saying there’s no theme in the show, and journalists can be literal, I find.

‘It’s sort of a joke – a lot of it’s about trying to come to terms of getting older, countryside versus city, loneliness versus being with other people, movement versus inertia – there’s all these themes I can see, but then I’ve seen it more times than anyone else.

‘It’s a funny show and it gets laughs all the way through, but there’s wistful bits, and some parts there are serious, but being funny is the number one thing, if you can make people think a bit, or touch them in other ways, that makes the job more interesting.’

You’ve previously been called The King of Edinburgh as you’ve been at pretty much every Festival Fringe since 1987, but I hear you’re taking this year off. How come?‘I’m definitely taking a year out and I’m going to stay in London. Me and my wife have just had a baby and last year I was quite ambitious and did a lot of things, I put on a play (I Killed

Rasputin) which lost a lot of money, it didn’t do as well as I hoped.

‘And I slightly resent going up there and being charged lots of money to stay in a horrible flat. So I thought, with the stage I’m at, it might be better for newer acts if the older acts go away off for a bit.

‘I do okay up there, but it felt like it was time to take a break. I’ve gone relentlessly almost every year since

I was 20, so it’s time to take a step back. I think it’s quite freeing.

What will you be up to instead?‘I’m not going to be slacking off. I’m going to do all my solo shows and a new one over six weekends at Leicester Square Theatre,

‘It’s going to be slightly tricky to relearn them all, but writing them is harder than learning them for me. I might do a little bit of tinkering. Inevitably, I might not quite remember them, but I wrote the shows, so I can do what I want.

‘If a bit isn’t working, I can change it, or it might become a new joke. And that’s the joy of being a stand-up comedian, you can change things and ad-lib.’

It was the Chortle Awards the other night and you got to present an award to Terry Jones when Monty Python won Best Event of the Year for their O2 reunion gigs. What was that like?‘That was pretty amazing. I saw the show they did at the O2. I nearly didn’t go, but on the last night I realised I had the night off as well and I managed to get some not bad tickets online.

‘I was sort of dubious about seeing it because I’m such a big fan, you know, will it be brilliant, or will it be raking up something that should have been

left behind? But it was brilliant. I met Terry just before, and because someone else had dropped out I got to present it to him. They were one of the things that got me into comedy, via the records rather than the TV shows because I was a bit too young for them.

‘I think they’d probably rather have all the money they made from the shows, but now they’ve got a bit of Perspex saying they’re the best live event too.’

For the second year running, you were on Twitter on March 8, International Women’s Day replying to sarcastic tweets about the apparent lack of an International Men’s Day. (For the record, it’s November 19.) How many tweets did you end up replying to?‘It was a lot, I didn’t keep count. I was doing other stuff all day, looking after my baby and travelling to a gig, but I did it last year as well when there were a lot more people in the UK being sarcastic about it, but then when

America woke up it suddenly became huge again. It almost broke me.

‘I like that sort of pedantic humour. It’s the cockiness of the idiots asking that question and the ubiquity of the question, but they’re making a point about something they’re completely wrong about, so it’s the perfect comedic thing and it hopefully makes a point about feminism too.

‘The only thing I slightly regret is that I overshadow the point of what

I’m doing a bit, but I hope that by me doing that and dealing with the idiot men, everyone else can get on with celebrating International Women’s Day.’

See Lord of the Dance Settee at The Ashcroft Centre in Fareham on Thursday, April 16, and The Wedgewood Rooms in Southsea on Sunday, April 19. Go to hants.gov.uk/ashcroft or wedgewood-rooms.co.uk

What’s a Wakefield boy doing in

Oregon?I’ve lived in Portland for about 10 years.

My wife Joanna is from Oregon and

plays in Stephen Malkmus’s current

band The Jicks. We met on tour and

eventually ended up living here. I loved

it as soon as I moved here. I felt at

home straight away. I came to visit a

few times and fell in love with it.

I grew up listening to all the North West

punk bands and in Portland it seemed

to have a very creative spirit. A lot of

my friends here are musicians, so it felt

perfect straight away.

Ryan now lives in New York, does

being so far apart affect your writing?

I don’t think it has. When we first

started the band we were three brothers

and together all the time, living in the

same house and that was really good

for us at that time. The early years were

the most exciting in a way but also the

toughest because we were trying to

establish ourselves. We were discovering

things about the industry and getting

used to it, so it was really good to be

together.

After that, I think for us to go and live

in different countries and have different

influences is a good thing.

When I moved here we were writing

our third album, Men’s Needs, Women’s

Needs, Whatever, and that was our most

successful record and that made me feel

confident that we could do it.

It can’t make rehearsals easy?

No, it doesn’t. But we call each other

every day and we’re still together a

lot. If the band wasn’t as active as it

is, it might be a problem. But we tour

so much that we have enough time

together to get on with stuff.

I write songs out here and Ryan writes

songs in New York and when we get

together in Wakefield we put everything

together. We’re always coming up

with new ideas. When I get with my

brothers it’s this great feeling and we’re

excited about things, which is great for

making records. The ones we’ve made

since we’ve been living apart have been

successful, I think.

Anyway, when you’re a touring band

you don’t really live anywhere. I got

back from Japan and South Korea about

a week ago and I’m heading for the UK

this weekend.

The new album is called For All My

Sisters – but you have no sisters?

That’s something that appealed about

it to be honest. It’s a lyric from Pink

Snow and we thought it was a cool

line. For any album title we like to sum

up the period of time we were writing

the record, so taking something from

the lyrics can be good because it’s

indicative of the head space you’re in

at that time.

It has other meanings too. We’re a

sibling band, so there’s a connotation

there. There’s a feminist element and

that’s cool too. The best thing is a lot

of people have asked about the title,

people are intrigued.

Does it showcase your poppier side?

We said it would initially. We know

there are two sides to this band – pop

and punk – but in the end I’m not sure.

It’s hooky definitely but it’s not like it’s

a radically poppier album than any of

the others.

On the last album (In The Belly of the

Brazen Bull) we had so many ideas and

we were intent on making it as dense

as possible. But with For All My Sisters

we wanted to be succinct – in fact that’s

a good word for it, succinct.

Why did you opt for Ric Ocasek of The

Cars as producer?

He’s someone who was always near the

top of our list, but he’s a difficult guy to

pin down because he’s so busy. He’s not

a producer for hire because that’s not

his main job, so we were very honoured

when we sent him a demo and he said

he liked it.

Our instinct was always that he would

be a great person to harness our pop

side – but his leftfield spirit was enough

to understand that we didn’t want to

be a mainstream pop record. And our

instincts proved to be right.

We liked The Cars but we also liked work

he’d done with people like Weezer and

Guided By Voices. We listened to a lot of

those records.

And, of course, you worked with

Johnny Marr before on Ignore The

Ignorant.We were together for about three years

and it was so cool. He’s somebody who’s

very important to us, he’s like a family

member. If you’d told the 14-year-old

me, as I listened to my Smiths records,

that one day I’d work with Johnny Marr,

it would have blown my mind.

The best thing was we became friends

first and began hanging out and then

just started playing and before we knew

it we were making a record together.

There was nothing contrived about it.

It came to an end because we wanted

a rest and he wanted to do his solo

stuff and I’m so pleased that he’s

doing so well know, and we’re still

best friends.

How does it feel to come home for

this tour?I’m back in the UK all the time. The

Cribs are very much a UK band. We do

all our writing and a lot of our recording

in Wakefield – because we’re all spread

out, that’s still our base.

But we definitely look forward to

touring in the UK because the fan base

in the UK and the support has always

been amazing. Our UK fans are very

dedicated, probably because they’re

the people that now us the best. This

is the first full-scale tour we’ve done

for this record. We’ve been begging

our management to get us a proper

UK tour.
