Notes to Editors: ABOUT LUCKY SEVEN Lucky Seven was started in 2004 by Jay Jay Burridge. He likes caps, he watches a lot of movies, he really likes embroidery, he’s very fond of Americana and he loves great design. So, he decided to combine all of these things in to a single product which wouldn’t contain screaming branding or overbearing logos. He likes to do things quietly. Ssshhhh. Their customers are from everywhere you can imagine, building their very own bespoke Lucky Seven caps. There are all manner of celebrity heads under these caps and some pretty amazing collaborations and projects have been executed over the past few years. The Extreme Lucky Seven caps will be available from the Lucky Seven Caps website www.luckysevencaps.com from the end of July 2013. ABOUT ESDS (EAT SLEEP DRINK SKI) ESDS Clothing Limited was founded in Meribel 2011. They are all about bringing colour, pazaz, and steez, to the mountains. What do they all do in the mountains anyway? “We wake up, go skiing, have a few drinks at après (or a lot), go to sleep, (or pass out), wake up the following morning, and do it all over again!” Their designs make sure people can see you so they don’t bump into you on the hill, catch the trick you’re pulling, or just so people know…whatever your reason is, look good at the same time. Whatever your favourite place is to be, spread the ESDS love. The EXTREME ESDS range of limited edition T-shirts will be available from the ESDS website www.esdsclothing.com from late July 2013.
