first up – indi threads launch party!

Monday 18th May saw the Individual Threads Launch Party for the new summer t-shirt range kick off in collaboration with our good friends at Baby Sumo. Little Johnny Russell’s was transformed for the night into a heaving venue full of amazingly talented DJs, graphic artists getting down and dirty live for everyone and a full on back-catalogued store for all Indi Threads wear, including promo sweaters, hoodies, t-shirts and even argyle socks! Thank you to everyone that came down, we are really pleased with the response we got and the recruitment of new artists!

All the photos can be found here: but below is a couple for you to feast your eyes on…

Hello, hope you haven’t forgotten us over at Individual Threads! To be completely honest, we have been so busy over the last few weeks that we’ve hardly been able to keep up! But that is not an excuse for keeping you all in the dark. But rest assured we have turned over a new leaf and we will try and keep you up to date twice a week! There are lots of things we wanna talk about, just give us a minute to sort ourselves out! Love you all!

Lots of Big love, The Individual Threads Team x

Individual Threads comes to Big Cartel!

 

 

Buying our stuff online is set to become even easier very very soon with the Individual Threads Big Cartel in progress. We are out and about this weekend taking beautiful shots of our garments in and around Southsea for display on the online store. See www.bigcartel.com for more details. We hope to have the store up and running in syndication with the launch of our New T-shirt Designs on May 18th – more details on that to follow.

A quick thank you to all those that have bought clothes from us this week, we really appreciate it! Tell your friends! Tell your coursemates! Tell your family! Tell the world!

Lots of Big love, The Individual Threads Team x

(p.s. 2/5 of the Individual Threads lot will be in Scandals tonight, dancing like there is no tomorrow. Come and have a chat!)

trial: the bear – paul wardski

one of the artwork submitted was subject to a printed trial this friday. A piece entitled “The Bear” by Paul Wardski, was modelled by our very own Andy and taken to Punchfunk at Tiger Tiger on Friday where it was met with a very warm reception! We will keep you informed about the official launch date of The Bear and the other selected pieces, but for now here is a sneak peak at what’s in store:

P.S. Those people at the Get Away show at Havana on the Saturday just gone, would have seen the artistic genius of Matt Howard using the  rest of the Indi Threads crew’s dancing skills to create some stunning visual effects. Nice!

time for an update

A lucious time was had by many in the Southsea area this weekend filled with Plump DJs, Nando’s outings, gigs, football, skateboarding and barbeques. And it’s only just April, so it’s only going to get better.

Letting you know what we’re up to, we have SEVEN monochromatic screens ready for print by our chosen artists. We’re coming up with ideas for our launch of the Artist range and since the Promo range launch went so well we have a lot to live up to! Watch this space for news and details, and please come and show your support.

We really do appreciate everything people have done for us, so we’re gonna take a little time here to say THANK YOU – thanks for talking, wearing, buying, commenting and recommending, and please keep it up!

Please please please tell your non-Southsea friends about the new eBay store that is now running on our website, and those who have already got some Indi Threads gear, please add Indi Threads as a friend on Facebook and tag Indi in the photos featuring our clothes! We want to see how our community is growing – so get involved.

Lots of love, The Individual Threads Team. X

promo launch date announced and birthday fun!

Just a short update today from Individual Threads – we have spent a picturesque Friday in the studio,  chilling, laughing and listening to the likes of Run DMC, Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash. Andy, Spencer and myself, located in the studio, have been putting the finishing touches to our promo range, due for launch next Monday. Jordan has been in the office, printing to his hearts content. Finished garments include a forest green sweatshirt, a red dress and a black hoodie. Pictures of them to come soon. We are looking at a couple of new and fair trade stockists for clothing items which is going well, and we have been brushing up on our sewing skills.

Last night at Waster was a great success, thank you to all that came and thanks for the positive feedback! A promotional movie was played as a backdrop for the live bands (Venice Ahoy and Astronomy Club)   designed by Howie – and it was actually immense. The Trash Arts film played and our clothes looked beautiful. Nice one!

Side note: It’s my birthday today so the Indi Threads team and lots of others are going to Little Johnny Russells where Andy and Andy and Lewis and JACK BEATS are going to give us a lovely birthday treat. Come along for the fun!

We’ll leave you as we listen to Ratatat and discuss the logistics of Michael Jackson’s farewell tour.

Lots of birthday love from the Individual Threads Team. X

Individual Threads

Individual Threads is an artist forum where you, the artist can showcase your work and let the public as well as other members on the group comment on your artwork. This is a great place where artists can get real, honest opinions about their art.

As well as offering a forum for you to connect with your peers, we also give you the chance to submit your art to a panel where your designs could be transformed onto clothes.

These garments will be of the highest quality, with your individual artist tag alongside the Individual Threads tag, helping to promote you as an artist. Each design is limited to 50 editions.

The amount of artists is growing. Get involved!

We are looking for:

Artists
