  • S22 Ep6: Alice Temperley MBE — Founder & Creative Director of Temperley London: The importance of finding your flock and staying strong

    S22 Ep6: Alice Temperley MBE — Founder & Creative Director of Temperley London: The importance of finding your flock and staying strong
    Jul 14 2025
    Holly’s guest this week is the endlessly creative, hugely talented and fiercely determined Alice Temperley MBE — the visionary behind Temperley London. You may know Alice for her exquisite, bohemian-inspired designs that have graced both red carpets and royalty alike, but what truly drives the woman behind the brand? And how did she once come to be described by American Vogue as being, 'The designer making the biggest waves in British fashion'?

    Raised on a cider farm in Somerset, Alice’s story may read like a modern-day fairytale — yet in reality, it’s been anything but. In this conversation, she opens up about the challenges she’s faced in the ever-evolving fashion industry, the resilience that carried her through and the perseverance that helped cement Temperley London as being a quintessentially British brand. She also reflects on the importance of finding her tribe and reveals why the key to success is often slowing down not speeding up.

    Away from the world of fashion, Alice lives an idyllic life in Somerset and shares her secret to happiness with Holly — which includes spending time with the two mischievous donkeys that roam freely through her home and often join her for breakfast.

    Alice has built a fashion house rooted in artistry, celebrating 25 years of intricate embroidery, hand-sewn embellishments and timeless design. Her creations are more than garments — they’re wearable works of art, worn by iconic women across the globe.

    This episode is a deep dive into the highs and lows of building a brand with heart, soul and unstoppable creative vision. It’s one you won’t want to miss.

    S22 Ep5: Artist - Bob and Roberta Smith OBE RA: Guardian of the Arts — why art makes people powerful
    Jul 7 2025
    Why does art make children and society powerful? Why should creativity be a right and not a privilege?

    In this episode, Holly is joined by the extraordinary Bob and Roberta Smith OBE RA — artist, activist, educator and passionate advocate for the power of the arts.

    Together, they explore why creativity matters now more than ever, especially for the next generation.

    From growing up in an artistic household, to painting powerful slogans like All Schools Should Be Art Schools and Art Makes Children Powerful, Bob shares the personal stories, political moments and joyful philosophies that have shaped his life’s work.

    Holly speaks to Bob about creativity being fundamental for all, how he believes art teachers are in fact, human rights workers and why everyday actions — from cooking to parenting — might actually be more creative than we realise. Bob also explains how his brilliant project, The Superpower of Looking, is a tool for teaching kids and adults to slow down and truly see the world around them.

    So whether you think of yourself as being creative or not, this conversation might just make you look at life a little differently and realise that art belongs to everyone.
