The story of Dead Giraffe isn't a long and winding road full of twists and turns and wrong turns and twists it is a nice simple one.
I (Jay) was sitting in my university halls one night unable to go out on the town with my friends because I had spent all my student loan away on pogs, sherbet and fizzy pop so I set about to designing some sick threads of the highest awesomeness and it was there and then that
Dead Giraffe was created; in the most unlikely of places, room 328 of Kimber Student Halls of Residence but it is there that it started and it has been a whirl wind adventure even since then.
I then spent the next several months locked away in my room, sitting at the computer doing what all teenage boys do...designing some sexy art work that would one day grace your equally sexy bodies.
After that it is really just a mixture of begging for money, taking out credit cards I knew I would not be able to pay back unless DG really took off (here's to hoping) help from friends and some ever so nifty screen printers up north.
I hope you guys really enjoy Dead Giraffe and if you have any problems, ideas about how to make DG better, design ideas or just fancy a nice chinwag with with a dashing young designer from Southampton then you can contact me
here ( and yes this is my personal email address).
