A foggy, cold Monday morning in London today and the Waterloo and City line was packed with Gore-Tex ski-jackets. A tourist may have been forgiven for thinking he/she was in Chamonix rather than on a commuter train full of people in the financial services industry! Today is start of London Fashion Week.

Has to be bespoke
CityAM, the free London financial newspaper, that is jammed in ones face most mornings by an over-zealous, anoraked vendor at every tube and rail station in this city, has a good article about bespoke suits. I agree with the author that these are special items and once you have had a bespoke suit, going back [...]

Eco Design Fair
Today is a the start of the Eco Design Fair at Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regents Park Road, Camden (London). At £1.50 for entry, it would be a shame to miss out and it continues tomorrow (Sat 24th 2007) too. Surely a place to get some ethical Christmas presents? Otherwise, if it is too cold [...]
Meeting The Major

New for [...]

Hundreds of T-Shirts
I saw this t-shirt book when I was out wandering around Shoreditch with Matt, Indigo’s inhouse web developer, whilst on the ‘Shoot Shoreditch‘ photo competition, on a sunny day in late August in East London. I thought it was rather relevant and the book looked quite good, but in the end I refrained from buying [...]

Howies Store
Howies, the welsh, organic clothing, mail-order company, now has a store on London’s trendy Carnaby Street (number 42).

If you are interested in getting organic promotional clothing, or [...]

It seems the client was very happy with our service too: To: [...]
