PRESS RELEASE: Isossy Children Autumn Winter 2013 - ISOSSYCHILDREN.COM Global Clothing for Kids Made in  England


The Award Winning Childrenswear label Isossy Children takes its collection another step further this season with an altogether older yet playful range for the discerning kids out there. The range for boys and girls aged 2-14 yrs, sees a sporty influence play its part with functional elasticated bottom trousers for him and classic bow fronted dresses with yoke detailing for her. Quality denim and wool jersey are the fabrics of note with all items showing off Isossy Children’s distinctive African prints detailing.

Dresses get a makeover with careful draping that turn out be nice deep pockets and are available in long and short sleeve versions. The funky jumpsuit is revised in jersey and has a sporty feel to it, again with the African print detail around the leg, perfect to wear with trainers or boots this winter. Ruched skirts in jersey and denim are hard-wearing and give the collection as essence of practicality and functionality without compromising on style. Fitted denim jackets with zip front can gives a little ‘biker girl’ attitude.

For the boys, there are ‘jogging’ pants with elasticated leg worn with a short or long sleeve shirts with print detailing around the sleeves trim, placket and collar in cotton canvas has an aura of cool. And of course our signature suits and very funky slim cut denim jeans.

Isossy Children are high quality clothes that kids want to be seen in. It gives them an opportunity to be that little bit more unique to express diversity through what they wear. A collection for all, this season really does give kids that wow factor.

Isossy Children meets Kemi Ogunniyi, Author of "The Tales of Mr Tortoise"

In this Isossy Children spotlight we meet Kemi Ogunniyi the Writer of "The Tales of Mr Tortoise"
Kemi Ogunniyi is a communications and business consultant, writer, and magazine editor. She is also a trained broadcast journalist who has done a few stints at the BBC and other reputable media organisations. Tales of Mr Tortoise was published after she organised a fundraiser in the UK where money was raised to be able to design, illustrate and print copies of the book for The 1Child1Book initiative.
 
What inspired you to start your business?
I wrote the book, Tales of Mr Tortoise, for the benefit of the 1Child1Book initiative.  I was inspired to write it because the programme leader of 1Child1Book (Tosin Jegede) was looking at the idea of working with writers and publishers to produce books for the kids.  We wanted a story that celebrated African heritage, and that was why I chose to write about the legendary Mr Tortoise, who is very famous in African folklore. 
I organised a small charity concert in Bristol to raise the funds that were used to produce and print copies of the book.

What have been your favourite client experiences? My best experience so far in the whole process has been organising the concert to raise funds and then going to Nigeria to present the book to the kids.  The smile on their faces is magic. 
What advice would you give to someone starting up in your industry? The best advice I can give to any true writer is this: write often as if your life depends on it, because it does.  Apart from writing stories for my friends when I was a child,  this is the first time I've written a book for children. It's very different from writing for adults. I had more fun writing for children.  It's not easier, but creatively,  it's more liberating. 
What are your long term goals? I hope to work with 1Child1Book to print more copies of the book locally in Nigeria and to produce more titles from the Tales of Mr Tortoise. Also,  some well-off parents in Nigeria have been asking us to sell the book to their children.  For that reason, we plan to make the book available for sale in the coming months (for those that can afford it),  so that we can use proceeds from the sales to produce more copies to give to the children the charity work with.
 
Isossy Children celebrates diversity through global clothing for children. Why do you think diversity matters for every generation?
 The world is a global village, and it is important that we learn about our cultures and others'. This helps in educating our minds and fostering good relations.
What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?
When I was a child,  I wish I knew that wanting to be an adult was overrated.  My little words of wisdom are from a nursery rhyme my grandma taught me: 
Work while you work
Play while you Play
To be useful and happy
This is the way...

Isossy Children meets Pink Think - Educational gifts, ideas and activities for girls



IsossyChildren believes that education is crucial for all global children and we're pleased to profile this wonderful organisation, Pink Think, which is dedicated to education and motivating young girls. Here we interview Makeda Ricketts, the CEO of Pink Think.


What inspired you to start your business?
I used to work with a lot of organizations geared towards enriching the education of girls outside the classroom. However, the way they teach certain subjects like math and science usually isn’t appealing to most girls and as a result they are not engaged. I wanted to create something that would be intuitive and fun for girls and at the same time promote education and empowerment. The whole premise of Pink Think is to get girls to think of education and learning as playtime. 

What have been your favourite client experiences?
The response to Pink Think has been very positive and that’s great because I started this company to help people. I am partnering with several non-profits that work with girls and collaborating and learning from them has been a wonderful experience for me. Still, my favorite client experience has been seeing the response of girls to the website. They are always so thoroughly engaged. Seeing them that excited about learning is priceless.

What advice would you give to someone starting up in your industry?
Engage and connect. People are so willing to help if you reach out, especially in the education space. There are so many organizations focused on educating girls and you should use all of them as a resource. Anyone working in this field is doing it because they want to help and educate, so people are very willing to partner with you and share best practices if you reach out. 

What are your long term goals?
We are working on developing our own educational games and gifts for girls. We are hoping to launch those products in the next couple of months. Beyond that we want to create a foundation that focuses on educating girls in East Africa. 

Isossy Children celebrates diversity through global clothing for children. Why do you think diversity matters for every generation?
Diversity is so important because diversity is information. We can learn so much from people who are different from us or who have different experiences than we do. I believe all the innovation and improvements we are seeing in the field of girls’ education is because we live in this increasingly interconnected world. The sharing of ideas and information make it impossible for progress not to be made. The more diverse we are, then the more we learn from each other, and that is what moves us forward as a society.


What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?
I personally love quotes and if I had to impart words of wisdom to any child it would be this quote by Shel Silverstein.
"Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be."
