I am Possible with Lily Finlay

Hi, I’m Lily. I’m 18 and a songwriter from Leeds. I’ve been writing since I was 12 and am soon going to perform at The Big Feastival in Oxford. My dream is to record and release my music and inspire others to follow their dreams.

I am possible.

What inspires you?

All my songs and lyrics are inspired by my personal experiences and my life. There’s a thrill in letting myself be vulnerable in my lyrics and often because people can relate to my songs, it is so rewarding to write honestly like that. People shouldn’t be afraid to be their most authentic self and explore themselves artistically.

What are your dreams for the future?

I hope to be recording and releasing my music soon and hopefully playing more live shows. As long as people are enjoying my music and I’m still getting the buzz from writing and performing, I can’t see a reason to stop what I’m doing. Songwriting is my absolute passion and I can’t see myself getting bored of it any time soon.

What does 'courage' mean to you?

To me, courage means being yourself! There’s something brave in being true to yourself and daring to dream, despite what others might think about it. A lot of people told me that I was silly for pursuing songwriting, and if I had listened I wouldn’t be getting the success I am now.

What advice would you give other people your age about pursuing their dreams?

Don’t stop fighting for what you love and what you believe in. There were times where I thought I wouldn’t succeed or progress, but you never know until you try!

Who is your role model and why?

Taylor Swift was the main reason I started playing guitar. She always writes so honestly and from the heart, and has remained true to herself and her beliefs throughout her success. Many record companies turned her away when she was trying to promote her music but she never gave up  because she believed she was capable of becoming a successful songwriter. Her passion and her courage is what inspires me and many other young people.

Please finish this sentence: I am possible because….

I fight for what I believe in.

Why do you like Isossy Children and how does it make you feel when you wear Isossy Children clothes (if you have worn them)?

Isossy Children’s clothing is definitely for kids who dare to be different! The originality and quirkiness is something you don’t find many other places.

What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?

“No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind” – Taylor Swift

Fashion Trends Interview with Amanda Rabor

This interview with Amanda was published earlier this year and the page has since then been taken down. With kind permission from Fashion Trends, we are publishing it here on our blog for you to read! Enjoy and let us know what you think! 

Amanda Rabor is promoting the idea of equality and cultural integration by designing clothes for bright leaders of tomorrow. She is the creative and inspiring mind behind the world-famous brand Issosy children, and her designed clothes are especially popular amongst young girls. Amanda’s collection of children clothes captures the power of fashion and style to globally integrate values, and she is redefining the values fashion industry is built on.

Amanda is one of the designers who inspires you with her creativity and her in-depth plan and thought she puts behind her designs. Even her method of sales is unique, with a dressing room on her website that shows four different girls who can be dressed in the same clothes. Very few designers in the industry are capitalizing on the power they have because of their fame and creativity, and stimulating cultural integration through clothes, and Amanda is one of those few designers who are designing clothes that are popular globally amongst children is to overcome cultural barriers by equipping the next generation with the right ideas even if it's the forms of clothes designs. 

Amanda emerged as a prominent designer in the fashion industry after she showcased her designs at London Fashion week through Indie Faces. She has impressed and inspired the fashion industry with her children wear designs, and is continuously putting us in awww through her creative work. According to Amanda, fashion is a powerful tool to create global culture and values by creating designs that reflect diverse cultures and values of the world, and inspiring kids to wear clothes reflecting those values. Amanda beautifully describes the concept behind her designs by stating, “In times of change and diverse living, fashion can reflect diverse cultures for up and coming generations to own, to claim and to wear in everyday life. It’s for the new global citizens of the world”.

To find out more about Amanda and her work, read below a recent interview conducted with this beautiful and talented mind: 

1.) Is there a meaning and or reason your chose to call you brand ISOSSY?
Its's actually an amalgamation of one of my middle names and my partners name. So I played with them both and made Isossy. 

2.) When did you start designing?
I've been designing for various periods throughout my life. It's really who I am. I started with IC 5 years ago. 

3.) Why children's clothing rather then for women?
I actually have no desire to design for adults. I love children and I think the thing I love most is when kids wear the clothes and feel empowered and regal. This is some of the feedback parents have shared with me. it's heartwarming when a 7 year old and put on an outfit and say something like "Oh my goodness! These are so nice! Amanda definitely knows my style.' I love that!

4.) What is your biggest challenge with your brand?

Biggest challenge has been getting the brand out into the mainstream but that's really happening now. There are soooo many amazing kids brands out there but you just have to stay true to your design authenticity and bring out that voice in your collections. That's what keeps you unique. 

5.) What inspires your design aesthetic?

Observing what's happening in the world has a big influence on me. I'm not an avid news watcher but having a sense of what's happening globally with humanity definitely informs my creativity. I choose colors dependent on my mood more than anything, but even those tend to resonate with so many current trends, like pink and red together. You don't realize how many influences subtly get absorbed. 

6.) What do you want to see happen with your brand in the near future?

We're just getting into a new groove so it's about building on our foundations, carrying forward our core beliefs and sharing them with the world. We love empowering kids so much and when we do our fashion shows, be it NYFW or LFW we're really touching lives and that means everything to us. We want to keep doing that and find ways to empower every kid that wears us. The Isossy effect is pretty powerful and we're loving it.
