With so many [t-shirt labels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikkyu) coming and going these days it is a good thing to see some sticking around. London-based Ivory Skies has been around for nearly two years now (which, in t-shirt language, is long). The Ivory Skies 'Purple Haze' collection, the latest line from the brand, features more ancient drawings that sit nicely on a printed tee.

Staying true to its ancient art and modern indie fashion blend, Ivory Skies has brought to the table a less refined look than its first collection. The Ivory Skies Purple Haze line is inspired by [rock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palace-x-him), the love of the great Jimi Hendrix, and the color purple.
