he best way to keep the festive season merry and the gifts stacked high is to have children.

Christmas spirit has well and truly returned to our family since our little ones entered the mix, and this year is the first that we’re not quite so knee-deep in nappies – so we’re able to host for the first time. We’re therefore hugely excited to start some Christmas traditions of our own – and in this issue both Emily Beckloff and Alexandra Hunter touch on the same idea, exploring how the festive season is perfect for family memory-making.

We hope our gift guides will provide ample inspiration too. We’ve cherry-picked the very best in design-led toys and games so that your gifts endure beyond the twelve days. We’ve also put a timely focus on sustainability, with features on Spice Girl Emma Bunton’s eco-conscious baby brand, Kit & Kin, and our our own top tips on reducing waste while enhancing – not compromising – the celebrations.

Which leaves me to say I hope you enjoy the issue, and that your Christmas is family-filled, merry and bright. See you next year...

Q You’ve become a bit of an Instagram powerhouse. Why do you think you’ve amassed such an impressive following?

A I started my Instagram account @SelfishMother in January 2015, to regram a picture of Leah Wood who had worn one of my MOTHER T-shirts. I already had a big following on Facebook, but then I realised I really loved Instagram! Alongside sharing pics of people in my T-shirts I shared pictures of me and my life as a parent... and it happened to be the time when no one was really doing that, apart from a few others, so my following and theirs grew quite swiftly. I started ’gramming at the same time as people like @DressLikeaMum, @ClemmieTelford, @Mothers_Meetings, @Mother_Pukka and @Mother_Of_Daughters – who was then @MidwifeyHooper.

Q What came first, blogging or The FMLY Store?

A I launched SelfishMother.com, the blogzine, in September 2013, as a space to share what I really felt about life and motherhood. I had around 10 writers/friends who wrote articles

absolutely-mama.co.uk

MAMA_DEC18_Instamama_DPS HB KG.indd 30

05/11/2018 18:35

mama h ood Q & A

for the launch. And soon after launching lots of people asked to write for it, so I tweaked the WordPress site so that people could post articles themselves... now we have over 5,000 writers!

I created the MOTHER Tee in July 2014 – I wanted to raise money for women in war-torn countries, so I supported Women for Women International with every sale.

There wasn’t any other “mum merch” around at the time! At first I sold the T-shirts from a page on the SelfishMother.com blog. But when I started creating clothing for men and kids too, I created a standalone shop called TheFMLYStore.com – FMLY is pronounced family, and the idea is that the shop is a space for the whole family. We have a thriving online store and a real-life shop, hub and events space in Bruton, Somerset.

Q It must feel so rewarding to have raised as much as you have for charity...

A It’s amazing! I can’t believe we’ve raised nearly £1 million for charity. We support 12 charities through our #GoodTees, from small local charities to global ones. One of the biggest pinch-me moments was getting

a call from Save The Children a couple of years ago, when they asked us to create the Christmas Jumper collection with them.

For such a big charity to get in touch felt amazing. We’re now working on our third Christmas collection with them – which means we’ll be adding to the £150K we’ve already raised for them! Every year a host of amazing ambassadors takes part in the STC campaign, and this year I’m so so excited to reveal who is involved. Some mega names!

Q Why did you decide to move to Bruton?

A I moved to Bruton as I love Somerset and Bruton has a real buzz about it. It is very quiet but also has lots going on. All the shops are small independents, there are no chains.

The FMLY Store is on the high street and it’s great to be a big brilliant shop in a small town... often customers “pop in” on their way to Devon and Cornwall. And some have even booked holidays around visits to our store!

Other ace small shops in Bruton include CARO and Rose & Lyons. Also there is a great art scene care of Hauser & Wirth and the Bruton Art Factory. And a super restaurant and bakery which I pop into daily, At The

Chapel. Also everyone is super-friendly and Bruton is beautiful... and compared to London, where I used to live, property doesn’t cost the earth!

Q Why did you switch to putting out a blogzine on Instagram?

A I love Instagram but I do feel it needs more depth, so to give my feed difference and longevity I want to share quality content by putting blogzines on the feed. It is going back to what Selfish Mother was when it started! A space to share what people are feeling about life and motherhood. So as well as pics from my life, I’m sharing blogs from SelfishMother. com and also we’re putting out InstaZines, which is like a magazine on Instagram. My audience spends so much time on Instagram that I think, why not have something to read on the squares?

We also have @TheFMLYStore Instagram where we share pics of the shop and new products and launches etc., as well as IGTV videos of our in-store events.

Q What’s next for Selfish Mother?

A More super content. More super #GoodTees.

And also more digital masterclasses – video courses sharing all my tips for turning a kitchen-table brand into a business. Also shouting about our amazing Christmas Jumper Collection with Save the Children! @SelfishMother @TheFMLYStore

WORK

Q How key is flexibility to your life as a working mum?

A For me it’s the most important thing and I feel profoundly lucky that I can work on a flexibly basis because I work for myself. I am constantly rushing around but at least I am the ‘master of my own destiny’ and that takes so much pressure off. Many mothers cannot do this and are working to someone else’s schedule. Now that I’m a mother I really respect these women so much.

I often work before the kids are awake very early in the morning and long after they go to bed in order to max out on time with them when they are up.

The queen of cashmere Madeleine Thompson on growing her fashion business organically

Inter view HELEN BARON

Q What’s your secret? How did you grow your business?

A No secret! We grew very organically and I have always led by my product, hoping that the rest would follow. I take great pride in our quality and also our design. Around two years ago I decided to get ‘out there’ with social media, something I was extremely late in the game to, and I haven’t looked back since. I think that has been key to establishing brand presence and getting more of a following. I also surround myself with the most wonderful people who work with MT, who are a constant support and inspiration.

Q How have you sustained your success as the industry has changed – and become more and more competitive?

A I think sticking to what you believe in and not faltering on that. In our case it’s the quality and design. I also think it’s been very important to grow and adapt as the industry is just this behemoth that has a mind of its own, so you need to move with it! I find that the competition actually drives me to do better, which is lucky as there is a lot of great stuff out there!

Q You studied law at university – how did you end up in fashion?

A I went straight from law into fashion PR and

Q What advice would you give to others wanting to start an independent fashion label?

A It’s absolutely key to be very sure of your product first and identify what is fundamental to your brand and who your customer is. I’ve also kept true to only using the highest quality cashmere yarn for my cashmere brand. From here, you can build your message and your story. Having a strong image is essential, and I’ve always worked with the same stylist and photographer for my campaign imagery. I’ve an amazing team, across production, sales, communications and social media and it’s important to work hand in hand - listening to feedback as well as driving the ship! It’s also key to evolve with the trends and move with the times. I realised a couple of years ago how important Instagram is becoming, and have invested a great deal of energy and expertise into building a really strong account for the brand. @madeleinethompsoncashmere madeleine-thompson.com December 201 8

FAVOURITE DESIGNER FAVOURITE PIECE OF ART

Light sculptures by Dan Flavin. I was completely mesmerised by his exhibition in Chicago when I was an art student. The space was just transformed.

THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB?

Creating every day, whether it’s assembling moodboards for upcoming collections or brainstorming ideas for the website. Working between Hong Kong and London I’m constantly inspired by my travels too.

Yves Saint Laurent. I had copies of his sketches tacked on my walls since college and read his biography multiple times.

Such a talent and visionary, his designs will always look chic no matter how many decades go by.

YOUR WORK’S BIGGEST INSPIRATION

London. It’s old-world meets modern.

There’s always something waiting to be discovered in this magical city and the London energy is unlike any other place. As Samuel Johnson said: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.”

WHAT’S ON YOUR XMAS WISHLIST?

The best thing about the holidays is being able to sleep in! The Eberjey PJs are super-soft and so nice to lounge around in.
