INDIA BAILEY

my recent campaign with @flannels for the new @lululemoneurope drop. Working with @lululemoneurope as an ambassador for a few years was a sure highlight in my career thus far, so it was great to be back moving in their fabrics — best of the best! And a huge thanks to the incredible @flannels team who made this come to life — one of the friendliest, most passionate production teams I’ve been lucky enough to work with.

I’m not always this moody...Thank you @tatleruk for letting me wear this gorgeous @chanelofficial watch and be a part of Tatler’s March Issue. 💛💛💛

A gorgeous morning pre-marathon when I had functioning knees. It was spent teaching at the health oasis @vuoriclothing built at @180healthclub 🪽 We moved, recovered & connected over @goplaycollective cards Shot by the best @ameliaallenphotography 📸

Our founder, @india_bailey spoke with @rachelminleong for @thecreativeindependent last month, chatting all things PLAY and how the body is a creative resource. Leading with intuition, authentic expression, and what felt true to her, India encourages us to remove the outcome entirely. That’s when the magic happens.

Yesterday I ran my very first marathon in my home city. And I don’t think I’ll ever fully be able to put the experience into words. 🏃‍♀️🇬🇧 The first 28 km’s were surreal. I felt strong, present, pacing exactly where I wanted to be. Everything I’d worked for was showing up. And then suddenly, like daggers, the pain hit. The knee injury I have been hosting pulled up and straight up said: “no”. What followed was one of the most challenging moments of my athletic career. Not just due to the physical pain, but because of the conversations I had to have with myself. To let go of the potential. Detach myself from my ego. Forget the time & just keep pushing forward. The struggle is well captured in the last slide 😂 But as I gave myself permission to walk (whilst holding back a flood of frustrated tears, ngl), I kept thinking about the many, many people around the world who wake up every day and do the impossibly hard things. But with no finish line, no crowd, no medal, and no one cheering them on. So I chose to focus on simply putting one foot in front of the other. I repeated this to myself like a mantra for ~12 kms. Quitting was not an option I allowed myself to think about. Before the run, I added some last minute songs to my playlist, “You’re a Superstar” being one of them. I had this weird feeling that it was going to play when I needed it. Surely enough, it was the song that played on shuffle, and got me across the finish line - @beatsbydre didn’t fail me there 🌟 My heart ran for @alzheimerssoc (+ all who generously donated )🧡 and this life changing experience was all made possible by @newbalance & @exposurelondon . I feel truly privileged to have been able to do something like this. The @londonmarathon is an event which reveals so much about oneself and others. SO TO ALL THE SUPERSTARS WHO: - RAN (& chose to stay when it got tough) - VOLUNTEERED (& on the streets helping others) - SUPPORTED & CHEERED(!!!) — shout out to the girlies who held my hand & fed me jelly babies. YOU are the people who make me & others remember how much beauty & goodness remains in this world, and most especially in the city we call home. BIG UP LONDON! I’ll be back.🏅

London was feral this week. But thankfully @vuoriclothing created the perfect healing & recovery oasis. I lead a sculpt class, sipped on fresh juices, enjoyed some red light therapy and IV drips whilst yapping with pals. My idea of heaven. 🪽 #vuoripartner

Today on TCI 👟 Athletic coach, curator, and PLAY founder India Bailey (@india_bailey ) speaks with writer Rachel Leong (@rachelminleong ) about the body as a creative instrument, following desire, and removing the outcome entirely. Read the interview via the link in our bio. 💪 ID: A roundup of quotes from a conversation with athletic coach, curator, and PLAY founder India Bailey that read… Slide 1: “Sustainability is a creative skill. You don’t need to suffer to make meaningful work.” Slide 2: “I’m really interested in creativity that’s sustainable, that makes an impact, and isn’t just impressive.” Slide 3: “I was in downhill ski racing from a young age. Competitive sport really taught me discipline and the power of community. But it also taught me something just as important, which is that talent alone isn’t enough if desire isn’t there.” Slide 4: “I endured an injury that re-pivoted me slightly. The universe has its very witty ways in doing this. I wish I didn’t have to experience a fracture for that to happen, but the universe has ways to redirect you.” Slide 5: “I realized the body isn’t just something to train or fix, but it’s actually a creative instrument. And creativity happens through the body for me, not despite it.” Slide 6: “I think creativity thrives when it’s resourced and not extracted. It can come from a place of rest, play, and actually taking the time to acknowledge what’s coming up in between us trying to control the narrative.” Slide 7: “Intuition tells me what matters. Strategy is the container that protects it and gives it reach. One without the other doesn’t work, not in this landscape.” Slide 8: “As a Capricorn with ADHD—which I wouldn’t wish on anyone, honestly—I’m wired to keep getting curious. The ambition runs deep, but so does the impulse to turn over every rock before getting distracted by the next one.”

little details that brought colour to the week.
