Holiday Inn Running Vest and T-Shirt

Indigo printed these Fruit of the Loom super premium t-shirts and athletic vests in just 2 days for the Holiday Inn Running Club, hosted by Mo Farah, the recent 5000m gold medalist in the 2011 World Championships.

Keen runners got up early in London yesterday to join Mo for a run in London’s Regents Park. The first 250 runners back also got a free breaskfast at Holdiay Inn, the official hotel provider for the 2012 Olympics and Paralymics.

Golden ERA

Hip hop’s “golden age” (or “golden era”) is a name given to a period in mainstream hip hop – usually cited as being a period varying in time frames during the 1980s and 1990s said to be characterised by its diversity, quality, innovation and influence.

Indigo’s client Mark, from Madina, has translated his passion for old school music with an amazing t-shirt, titled: “Celebration of the ‘Golden ERA’ 1980s – 1990s“. Rio Ferdinand has also got behind the project:

Barcamp T-Shirts

Indigo has been a fan of the tech community for many years and this shows in our client list, having worked with WordPress, MySpace, Microsoft and, more recently, with Spotify. So it is only natural we have decided to take more of an active role in the UK internet scene and we have decided to sponsor a number of BarCamps this year.

Barcamp Logo

If you are not sure what a BarCamp is, according to Wikipedia:

BarCamp is an international network of user-generated conferences (or unconferences). They are open, participatory workshop-events, the content of which is provided by participants. The first BarCamps focused on early-stage web applications, and were related to open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.

Specifically, Indigo Clothing is proud to be supplying t-shirts to:

Happy camping!

Gearing up for London 2012 t-shirts, hoodies and the like

With one year to go till the London 2012 Olympics there is certainly an increasing buzz surrounding the games, whether it is the anticipation for the first dive by Tom Daley or a new world record by Usain Bolt, there is certainly a sense that something landmark is around the corner.

The atmosphere at Indigo is no different and was recently helped by a printing job we did for the International Olympic Committee and their Youth Olympic Games. The design received was the logo of the games with the tagline ‘Spirit of Youth Olympic Games’, which highlights how YOG DNA stands for an idea rather than any of the specific games. Read More »

LOVEtennis Children’s Charity Day

With the summer having arrived and Andy Murray having completed a valiant effort at Wimbledon it is undoubtedly another year to sit down and reflect about the state of British tennis.

However if, like me, you fancy your own chances come 2012 (or 2020 more likely) then the guys over at LOVEtennis definitely have the right idea with their recent Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity Day initiative.

At the end of June a joint initiative between LOVEtennis and Chiswick Tennis Club, organised by Christian Gallan, resulted in an afternoon out for many lucky children along with respective family and friends. Indigo was of course happy to provide the printed t-shirts, and wishes Christian and his team the best of luck with their future endeavours!

Breaking into the fashion industry

Guest post by Hannah Lawrence at Inspiring Interns

Getting a job in the fashion industry is not just about your love of shopping (though that doesn’t hurt). To break into such a competitive industry is tricky business. Living for the style pages, having a monthly subscription to Wonderland and being able to spot a Vivienne Westwood design from a mile off is a good start but to really stand-out in an oversubscribed industry you need that little bit extra on your CV.

Bicycle Rider

(Photo: A Linus Bike)

This morning I’m going for a bike ride. To the post office. To post a postcard with Prince William, Kate Middleton and a Union Jack on it to my friend in Germany. I’ll be dragging my pride and joy, with its squeaky front wheel, broken bell (ssssh, I don’t think that’s allowed), twice repaired brakes, replaced pedal, and wonky handlebars (this would be a good time to wish me a safe journey) out of the garage for my first ride of the summer. But before this momentous event happens, I had a chance to find some dreamy cyclewear that’s best shared with friends. Let’s become bike nerds together! Read More »

Magnums & Swimming

We’re just days away from June, just days, and the second J-beginning month of the year means one thing to me: it’s officially summer. To jump straight into summer without pausing to see if the sun will shine, let’s think about swimwear. This summer I will be tanning my mozzerella skin in the tropics of Manchester and Dublin, with a possible scorching weekend visit to a friend in Luxembourg with it’s many famous beaches, that’s right isn’t is? The pretty coastal country? So what better way to get in the mood than by drooling over lucious bikinis and all-in-one swimming costumes that I can neither use nor afford? Maybe eating some ice-cream? On the list for afterwards. One of my favourite summer smells is the lycra, sea-salty scent of the bikini, drip drying in the bath and you can tell that these summer-licious swimwear pieces from Anthropologie will not only look a million euros, but they will smell oh. so. summery.
