In the UK it was a long weekend and boy did we take advantage! The weather just about held up so we made it a point to check out one of the first summer events of the year, StreetFest.
For those of you that did not click the link above, StreetFest describes itself as “London’s number one street culture festival” which we would agree with. There was a lot going on, Graffiti, Strret Dance, BMX, Skatebaording, Inline, photography, Street art, FOOD music and surprisingly T-Shirts! We didn’t expect to see our fellow competitors in such force but I wouldn’t call it a stretch to say Tshirts were a major attraction.
We ran into the ladies from Show Love “The brand with heart”. I had to get a shot of the varsity jacket shown below. Why? I just love em okay and that’s why I snagged another shot with one of the lads from Ask Your Girl.
We really liked the persistent logo.
Kayobi’s African infused clothing were also present at the festival and drew a fair bit of interest. These guys really understand their audience with their tongue in cheek nod to African culture found within the “Make X not war” line.
There was an opportunity to design your very on Addidas trainers.

We met Supremebeing as soon as we stepped into the festival. Great guys and a selection that really reflects the brand ethos.
All in all, it was a good day. We came away entertained, better informed and encourages by our fellow T-shirt makers. Everyone was in high spirits and we wish we could feature all of the companies but space is short.
Thanks for the shout : Kwabena from Kayobi
