<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi Karolina! When and where was First Baby Shoes founded?</span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First Baby Shoes is a family run business, and was started in May 2013. Our small factory and design office are located in southern Poland. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>How did you come-up with the idea of shoe-making kits?</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are parents to two little girls. When the older was born, we wanted to celebrate her birth by making something special for her. We love shoes, and in the past we've had the chance to make leather shoes for ourselves - so we decided to make a pair for our girl as well. While creating shoes for our little girl we realised how fun it is to make something with your hands, and how much satisfaction it brings. Watching her taking her first steps in cute baby shoes sewn by us was just unforgettable! We decided to share this feeling with others and started our little shoe making kit business. We did lots of research to find the best suppliers, and also studied footwear design and shoemaking. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>What does each kit include? And what does the shoe-making process entail?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each kit includes everything you need to create a pair of baby shoes - from leather pieces, soles and insoles, to needles and special thread. There are also easy, step-by-step sewing instructions, and we provide video tutorials and sewing tips on our website. Even novice sewers can bring our shoes to life! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shoe-making process is very simple; the sewer just needs to pull the thread through the holes already punched in the leather pieces. We have models with different difficulty levels - from easy ones where you only need to sew together two parts, to more complicated designs. Nevertheless, all of them are designed in a way that makes the sewing as easy as possible. One shoe takes 50 - 70 minutes to make. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>Could you tell us a bit about the look and design of the shoes?</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shoes that can be made from our kits have a very traditional look. We tried to make little shoes that we as parents would like to wear! We have lace-up booties and sneakers, little ballerina-style booties and baby boots. They are all very classic, but still unique. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We know that baby feet are delicate, so we did a lot to make sure that our shoes are comfortable as well as cute. Soft upper leathers and thin but durable soles allow natural barefoot like movement. Our soles also provide traction in case a little walker is contemplating his first steps. The materials we use are breathable and very light. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><em>Why have you decided to show at Bubble London's A/W16 edition?</em></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So far we have taken part in a number of local kid's fairs in Poland, but we felt that it was high time for us to show our brand abroad, too. As we had heard and read so many good things about Bubble London, we thought it would be a great place for us to show our brand. We also feel that Bubble attracts the kind of audience that would be interested in our product. </span><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Could you tell us a bit about how you are preparing for the show?</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Right now we are brainstorming how to design our stand in a way that will communicate the idea behind our brand. We're hoping to find new trade opportunities and possibilities to grow at the show. For us, it will also be a great chance to share our ideas and meet people visiting and showing there. </span><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What advice would you give to other brands thinking of showing at Bubble this season?</span></em><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As we are showing at Bubble for the first time this season, it's hard to advise! However, we think that the most important thing is to plan everything carefully - and, during the show, to just enjoy it and take the most from the whole Bubble experience!</span><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Great advice, Karolina! We're looking forward to meeting you. </span></em><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Hi Anna! Firstly, could you tell us a bit about yourself?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After graduating with a degree in textile design, I started out as a junior womenswear designer - until the opportunity arose to design within the childrenswear department. I have always enjoyed designing childrenswear - I love the way you can be a little more adventurous and playful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, of course, when I was approached with the opportunity to head-up the design for Oh...My!, I jumped at the chance!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i> How have things changed for Oh...My! since your debut appearance at Bubble in February 2015?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been a very busy and exciting year! We've been working on boosting our presence in the market, and as a result have gained interest from many international and UK stockists. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Congratulations! What was the best thing about winning our Rising Star award?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's given us status, and the confidence to boldly launch ourselves into the high-end kidswear market. It's also given us much-needed exposure and publicity, enabling us to be on the radar of more stockists and buyers. Bubble has always been at the forefront of launching new, up-and-coming brands, and we will always be thankful to it for setting us off on the right foot. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Your debut range recently <a href="http://www.cwb-online.co.uk/Articles/Oh%E2%80%A6My!-proves-a-bestseller.aspx" target="_blank">sold out in Harvey Nichols</a>. Could you tell us a bit more about this?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes! This was such an exciting start to our first season. Not only to stock in Harvey Nichols but to sell out was a huge success for us. We are thrilled!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>What does the design process entail?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Designing for Oh...My! keeps me on my toes! There is never a dull moment. There is a constant trial and error process throughout, until we eventually come up with a final product that we're happy with. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When designing a collection, I always focus directly on researching trend forecasts for the following season. Moodboards are the next step - they are great for presenting potential ideas and displaying new fabrics, colours and styles. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following this, I will put fabric and garment shapes together. I tend to design four design stories, with ten items in each story. When designing collections, I purposely design items that can be mixed-and-matched across the range. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To finish off the process, I work with my lovely pattern cutter and machinist, who create the patterns and make the beautiful first samples. A long, but oh-so rewarding process! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>What's the single biggest challenge you've faced as a new-to-market brand?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being one among a sea of great kidswear brands, our challenge, as with any new brand, is to get our name noticed in the marketplace. Focussing not only on creating a quality product but also communicating our brand identity is important in terms of our place in the massive world of childrenswear! The possibility of collaborating with some of our favourite British brands in the near future is something we hope will make us more identifiable among our target customer. Watch this space!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>What are you working on at the moment? Could you tell us a bit more about your next range?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the moment we are working on our A/W16 collection. I don't want to give too much away, but think luxurious fabrics, cute, playful details, and fresh bespoke prints - and, of course, that air of English charm that runs through every Oh...My! collection. We are currently preparing for our A/W16 photoshoot, and a sneak-peek will be revealed in November. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Why have you decided to return to Bubble in January 2016?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is our third time exhibiting at Bubble, and we are hoping for yet another successful show. It's such a creative and lively event, and gives us the chance to really showcase our new collection and talk to potential new customers. It's also a a great time to talk to more established brands, to gain a better market insight. We are looking forward to seeing what Bubble London A/W16 has in store for us!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">French artist Charles Pétillon has unveiled his first public art installation, <i>Heartbeat,</i> in the 19th century market building's grand interior - and it comprises 100,000 giant, white balloons. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 54 metre creation is lit by a gently pulsating white glow, which represents Covent Garden's status as the beating heart of the area. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pétillon is best known for his <i><a href="http://www.charlespetillon.com/albums/invasions/" target="_blank">Invasions</a>, </i>in which he fills ordinary spaces - from basketball courts, to derelict houses and even cars - with thousands of white balloons. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He explained that these sculptures change the way people see everyday things - adding that his latest work was designed to be as alive and vibrant as the area itself. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arguably the most important purchase of the new term, a school bag should be durable, spacious and fun. This colourful <a href="https://www.roomseven.com/" target="_blank">Room Seven</a> backpack features adjustable straps and a roomy front pocket. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it comes to school shoes, practicality is key - but these leather lace-ups from <a href="http://thelittleshoemaker.org/" target="_blank">The Little Shoemaker</a> are cool, too. Handmade by founder Kevin Rowley (you might remember him from <a href="http://bubblelondon.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/going-for-brogue.html" target="_blank">this post</a>), they allow little feet to breath. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Hi, Ayesha! Some of our visitors might remember you from July's <a href="http://www.bubblelondon.com/perfectpitch.html" target="_blank">Perfect Pitch programme</a> - but could you introduce yourself again? </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi! I am the founder and designer of the brand <b>Little Wardrobe London</b>. For the past three years I have immersed myself in the word of children's fashion and design, starting by creating clothes for my own three children. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>When, where and why did you decide to launch your own children's clothing brand?</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was born and brought up in London. From the earliest memories I have of my childhood - the fairytales my mother read to me, to the books I grew up reading, to the productions I would see at the theatre - all these things shaped my perception of British culture. It was a culture I loved, and wanted my own children to experience. I first realised when my twins were very young that there was a vast market in childrenswear, ranging from <b>Gap</b> to <b>Gucci</b> - from the every-day rough-and-tumble kind of clothes, to occassionwear, and opulent, exquisite designer-wear. But within this huge spectrum of choice, there was very little that I felt represented the culture I had grown up with; the fairytales and books that had been so influential throughout my childhood. So, it was then that I set about creating a clothing line to celebrate Britain's heritage, eccentricity and individuality. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The brand name was inspired by one of my favourite childhood stories, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, by C.S Lewis. I loved the idea of going through the wardrobe and entering a whole new world. It is also one of the most important elements of the brand - namely, that we capture and ignite the imagination of children through the clothing. In the same way that the shoes we wear inform the way we walk, I believe that clothes can inform expression, inspire playfulness, and create the most magical of stories. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>What challenges did you face when launching <b>Little Wardrobe London</b>?</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There were challenges that arose when launching the brand - mainly that of manufacture. The ambition was to create a brand that was authentically British, which meant not only British design and influence, but also British manufacture. I had a lot of people telling me no; that it wasn't financially feasible, that it just couldn't be done here. Ultimately, I chose to side-step all the no's and spent a long time building up a network of contacts, as well as sourcing the right people who shared my vision. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes when it comes to design it starts with the silhouette; I see the shape of the garment, and the details follow. But, more often than not, it starts with the fabric itself. What seems to come through unconsciously is the influence of the wonderful fairytales, stories and theatre inspired by our British culture. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In order to be a true British brand we believed that not only did our clothing have to be designed here, but it should be made here too. We've gone a step further and are actually having them manufactured in London, to really live up to the brand name. On a practical level, having the garments made here also allows us to stay on top of the quality and craftsmanship of our clothes. </span></div>

We've been catching up with the brand's founder, footwear enthusiast and mumpreneur Catriona Alfaham...</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Catriona, could you tell us a bit about yourself? Do you have a background in fashion and design? </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always loved shoes, ever since I was very young - so I went to Cordwainers' College to study footwear and accessory design. I have been working in the fashion industry for the last 11-12 years as handbag designer, while maintaining my love of shoes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>When and why did you decide to found Little Lulu’s?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like many other mumpreneurs, it was only after I had my daughter that the idea of starting my own business came about. I wanted a job that suited me and my new lifestyle. The plan was to hand-make baby shoes and sell them on Etsy and at craft fairs - but, as I designed them, I realised I wanted a quality that I couldn't produce myself. My idea was developing into a brand with a big statement to make, so I set to finding a supplier in Europe who could make my designs. I found a fabulous little place in Italy that has been in business for 30 years. It is owned by lovely couple, Rosa and Luigi, and they are wonderfully skilled at making these tiny creations. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Could you tell us about the brand’s philosophy?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think the philosophy of the brand is one of playfulness. It is nice to see things in miniature form, especially shoes. All of the shoes are designed to be mini versions of what we as parents would like to wear. They are all packaged in a clear gift box with dust bag and gift tag. They are a special gift item that can be kept for years to come. In fact, someone at Bubble suggested they could even become collectable to parents who would like to get the full set. Sounds like a great idea to me! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Why did you decide to show at Bubble London in July?</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I began developing the idea of Little Lulu's at the end of 2014, and decided to come and have a look at the A/W15 show in February, to see if it was for me. Initially it worried me. There were so many other fabulous brands, and I wasn't sure I could compete or measure up. But, ultimately, it seamed like a great show to exhibit at. I went to Perfect Pitch and imagined myself there one day; it gave me something to aim for. I didn't think I would be able to make it to the July show, but somehow it all came together a lot quicker than I thought it would. I was a bit of a last minute addition to the line-up, but thankfully got there just in time!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>How did it feel to win the Rising Star award? What does the title mean to you?</i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was thrilled and overwhelmed to win the Rising Star Award. I remembered seeing the finalists at the A/W15 show, and couldn't believe I had even been shortlisted - so to win was just a fabulous cherry on top! All of the other brands shortlisted were wonderful, so it really meant a lot. Now it is a great accolade to tell people about when trying to get the brand off the ground. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The hard work starts here now; I need to try to get the brand out there. Bubble has been a wonderful launching pad, so I just need to maintain momentum. My <a href="http://www.little-lulus.com/" target="_blank">website</a> will be live in August, and I am hoping there will be a good reaction to that. We are off to Milan in September to Linea Pelle to plan the A/W16 range. I am lucky enough to have a free stand at next season's Bubble, and am already thinking of how I can better this season's stand. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>What advice would you give to designers planning to launch their brand at Bubble?</i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think the best advice is to plan every detail the best you can. Don't leave anything to chance. You need to make the best of what you have and make it stand out. You don't necessarily need a big stand but you need it to be eye catching. Plus you can always win some brownie points if you have some sweets to hand out!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This shot was taken in a bathroom at a kids play place (one of those places with jumpy castles everywhere). I had taken my daughter to the bathroom, and realised when she was washing her hands that the purple wall and hand dryer would make for a great shot. She was happy to oblige. I had to shove myself under the sinks to get the perspective I wanted, but it was totally worth it! </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always been interested in images. My mother is a painter, and was always drawn to design and colour. I love how photography allows us to capture a singular moment, perfectly. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had stopped working (in advertising) after the birth of my first child ten years ago - and, like so many other new moms, I wanted to be able to capture these amazing moments. I threw myself into learning and decided to pursue it as a career. I think my background in advertising and editing has helped me immensely. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blended follows the story of my nephew from adoption to today; we love that little man so much, and have been so lucky and thankful to document so many great moments. Strong is the New Pretty (soon to be a book with Workman Publishing, Spring 2017) showcases young girls as strong, confident, fearless and as they really are. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This season, fourteen launch-brands went head-to-head for our world-renowned Rising Star award. We saw hand-drawn prints from <a href="http://www.bbbambino.com/" target="_blank">BBbambino</a>, vintage inspired girlswear from Australia's <a href="http://www.tinkerandboo.com/" target="_blank">Tinker and Boo</a>, and customisable dresses by <a href="http://www.modelmyown.com/" target="_blank">Model My Own</a> - but, ultimately, <a href="http://www.little-lulus.com/" target="_blank">Little Lulu's</a> stole the show. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our judges (CWB's editor, Laura Turner, <a href="http://littlestylefix.com/" target="_blank">Little Style Fix's</a> Emma Smith, Wing Yin Man of <a href="http://www.bubblechops.com/" target="_blank">Bubble Chops</a> and <a href="http://www.willo-baby.co.uk/" target="_blank">Willo Baby and Childrenswear's</a> founder, Lucy Ives) were blown away by the brand, agreeing that its exquisite miniature versions of adult shoes had real star-quality.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Laura Turner explained: 'We loved the design, and felt that they had got everything right - from price and age grouping, to target market. The product itself was beautiful, and had huge gift appeal.'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Laura and her fellow judges were also impressed by founder Catriona Alfaham, whose passion and enthusiasm shone through. <a href="http://www.dottydungarees.com/" target="_blank">Dotty Dungarees</a> and cool new childrenswear brand <a href="http://www.mrwolfkids.com/" target="_blank">Mr Wolf</a> were named runners up.

Michelle and Andrew Molloy did just that, founding <b>Picture Book Fashion Ltd</b> after 20 years with agencies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Based in Scotland, the company now has two successful labels; <a href="http://www.a-dee.com/" target="_blank">Ariana Dee</a> (known as A*Dee) - which specialises in 'complete look' collections for girls aged three to 12 - and boyswear brand <b>Mitch&Son</b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ahead of Bubble S/S16, Andrew has been telling us more about their transition from agents to designers...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Andrew, why did you decide to launch your own brand? </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We launched Picture Book Fashion in 2011, when we could not find the right look and styling our retail clients were searching for. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With 20-plus years of agency experience, we felt we were well equipped with knowledge about what worked - both in colour and styling, but also in terms of delivery and customer service. We set out to become the perfect company for our retailers, and Ariana Dee was born.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Was the transition an easy one? </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can imagine, it turned out to be a whole lot harder than we anticipated! However, we received great support from our retailers, and the small successes of the early days gave a very rewarding feeling that encouraged us to work even harder. </span><br />

<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How did the brand grow?</i><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Slowly Ariana Dee gained a foothold with our retailers, and sales out were also encouraging - so the name and some recognition spread through the UK, Ireland and Holland. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As we have learned more about the design and production environment, so the collection has changed into what we recognise now. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mitch&Son has much the same origins as its sister brand. It was born out of a little frustration at not having the product that our retailers were looking for.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />With the knowledge gained from the launch of Ariana Dee, it was a relatively simple process to launch our boys brand. The label was gratefully received, and the growth and sell-through was really terrific. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mitch&Son has developed and grown into more colour groups, bigger stories and even footwear, as retailers continue to react well to it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We joined forces with charitable social enterprise Out of the Dark (OOTD), which specialised in upcycling unwanted furniture. 11 friends-of-Bubble were given a crash course in re-upholstery, before creating their own bespoke children's chair. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Their handywork was then auctioned off at Bubble's February show, with all proceeds due to go to the wonderful OOTD and its young craftspeople. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">very sadly, the charity was forced to go into administration - and, after much deliberation, we decided to donate the <b>£495 </b>raised to Oxfam, in aid of those affected by the Nepal earthquake. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A huge thank you to everyone who bid on a chair - particularly, the lucky winners, Victoria Johns, Mark Benzie, Dorothy Thompson, and Colette Tebutt. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Chair-upcyclers Peppe Orru, Victoria Evans and Bianca Evans loved their creations so much that they also placed bids - and won!</span><br />

Editor Laura Turner was inundated with entries, but there could only be one winner - and that honour went to the wonderful <b><a href="http://www.lillyandsid.com/" target="_blank">Lilly + Sid</a></b>! We're delighted to introduce their June/July cover...</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Laura explained that, while choosing a winner was tough, Lilly + Sid's image (taken from their S/S16 collection, 'Vintage Holiday') really stood out. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We had some wonderful photography supplied for the Cover to Cover competition, but there were a few factors that set the winning Lilly + Sid image apart from the rest," she explained. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Technically, the Lilly + Sid image is very well shot, it accommodates the CWB masthead well and is of high-resolution - all elements that are essential for a magazine's cover and for high-quality print.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Beyond this, it was also the most aesthetically pleasing in terms of what we look for in a front cover. Essentially, the shot encapsulates what the CWB brand stand for - great fashion, individual design and carefree, childhood innocence."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you think of Lilly + Sid's cover? You can catch the brand at <a href="http://www.eventdata.co.uk/Forms/Default.aspx?FormRef=Bub75Visitor" target="_blank">Bubble this July</a>...</span><br />
