Our newest collection 'Passion and Play', is our #aw17/18 offering.
It's for boys and girls aged 2- 12 years. This collection explores textiles and
textures, mixing it into a warm blend of rich hues and tactile wonderment. It's
playful and deeply expressive as it embodies our core beliefs of diversity
globalness, modern heritage and kids empowerment.
I like horse-riding, watching films,
singing and dancing. My favourite thing is having a friend for a sleep-over and
swimming in the warm sea. I have a big sister called Mia and 2 Chihuahuas. I’m
also a model and love going on TV. Sometimes I talk to student midwives and
doctors.
I have Down’s syndrome and I am beautiful.
I am possible.
What inspires Natty?
We all have a lot to learn from Natty. She
truly lives in the moment, and lives each day to the full. She treats everyone
as an equal, no matter how famous they are she will still blow them a raspberry
if she feels like it!
Natty has had to overcome obstacles in
life, such as heart surgery when she was 2 years old and she needs a bit of
extra support and effort to learn to do some things. But she goes through life
joking and making new friends wherever she goes – most of the time. She does
have her moments like the rest of us.
Natty adores the simple things in life. Not
many children do an impromptu song and dance when they find their favourite
cake in the shop.
What are Natty’s dreams for the future?
She would say to go on X Factor. I would
say for her to lead as independent a life as possible with support. To get a
job, live with friends or a partner, maybe get married one day. To enjoy all
the same things as any other young person.
Tell us a little about being a model – you
were one of the first models in the UK with a disability - what does this mean
to you?
Natty was 4 years old when she first began
to model and made her first live TV appearance on ITV Daybreak. In a way it has
always been a part of her life every since and she takes it in her stride. She
thinks that modelling is just fun, dressing up and playing with new friends.
Her feet are firmly on the ground.
To me and other families with children with
additional needs the symbol of children like Natty modelling is one of greater
inclusion, of us all wanting to see ourselves represented in the media, of all
children having worth. Natty she just squeals with excitement when she sees her
face in print or on a poster.
Who is your role model and why?
Natty loves Little Mix like many little
girls, but she also looks up to incredible women such as Sarah Gordy, who is an
actress with Down’s syndrome, or Karen Gaffney who swam the English Channel and
does public speaking. She also has the condition.
Please finish this sentence: I am possible
because…
I see no limits.
Natty is unaware of the boundaries others
set on what she can do because of her condition. She works tirelessly to
achieve whatever she sets her heart on, and breaks down barriers and busts
myths in the process.
Why do you like Isossy Children and how
does it make you feel when you wear Isossy Children clothes (if you have worn
them)?
I love the patterns. I think the Isossy
dresses look really different and unusual, definitely clothes for girls with
attitude! Natty likes to stand out in a crowd.
What words of wisdom do you think every
child should grow up knowing?
You are unique. You are special. You are
loved.

How did your mom's
battle with cancer affect you and what advice would you give other young people who are in similar situations?
My mom is my inspiration. When she was going through the
pains it seemed like I was going through pains. I couldn't function because I
thought I was gonna lose her. I stopped everything from dancing to playing sick
everyday so I can come home to with her. I finally went through counselling to
help me understand the battle mom was going through with breast cancer. After
she became cancer free I told my brother that I wanted to model and act and
being an all A student in school they made it happen for me to pursue my
dreams. When facing the uncertain you have to trust God.. I prayed and remained
Humble and my mom is a 4 year breast cancer survivor.

My mom... She's a fighter... She instilled in me to go after
my dreams, work hard in the class room, community, and the entertainment world,
stay humble, and always Trust God.

for the future?
My dreams are to graduate with honors, attend and graduate
from Spellman College, become a traveling nurse, and runway model for Chanel,
Dior, and Victoria Secret.
Who is your role
model and why?
Tyra Banks is my role model. She show's us how to have
poise, grace, and style. She is a go getter.
Please finish this
sentence: I am possible because….
