the<br />
editor’s note<br />
If you’re a parent of a model or a member of an editorial<br />
team, you’ve probably seen kids become instant friends<br />
on the set of a photo shoot. At first, when everyone arrives<br />
they are timid and shy, no one knows each other and stays<br />
close to their parents. But, by the end of the day, everyone<br />
is hugging, laughing and acting as though they’ve known<br />
each other for years! Why is it so easy for kids to make<br />
friends?<br />
While working in this industry, I’ve found it such a pleasant<br />
surprise that we usually make friends wherever we go! We<br />
all share a love of kids fashion that brings us together and<br />
creates a meaningful connection. I’ve been so lucky to<br />
have met many new friends around the world in the five<br />
years we’ve had this platform. Colleagues have turned<br />
into cherished friends, and the connections we’ve made<br />
are invaluable.<br />
We love the celebration of friendship seen throughout the<br />
editorials in this issue! We see it in the Winter Vacation<br />
editorial, as kids hit the slopes with their friends to enjoy<br />
a day in the cold. We see it as girls become roller skating<br />
queens and besties on the set of This Year’s Girl! Our cover<br />
editorial, Girls From the Block, tells the story of friends<br />
brought together by a shared love for their neighbourhood<br />
and community.<br />
Who is your most cherished<br />
friend? As always, tag<br />
@posterchildmag in your<br />
Instagram pictures or<br />

Can’t wait to hear from you!<br />
As the holiday season comes to an end and we look toward<br />
the new year, I hope you’ll make a resolution to cherish<br />
the friendships in your life. Not only by making time for<br />
those friends who have become like family but by making<br />
the most of every opportunity to make the meaningful<br />
connections that bring us together in humanity.<br />

designer Q&A<br />
Tip Toey Joey<br />
When inspiration struck in 2002, Ana and Scott McInerney<br />
set to work, bringing to life a small, handmade shoe label<br />
in their own living room. Now Tip Toey Joey is a globally<br />
recognized brand, producing 32,000 pairs of shoes each<br />
month! Get to know the brains behind this<br />
brand in our Designer Q&A!<br />
28<br />
Ana and Scott McInerney always dreamt of owning<br />
their own business. When inspiration struck after the<br />
birth of their daughter, the family turned their living<br />
room into an office and studio designing one of a<br />
kind shoes for little feet. Today the São Paulo-based<br />
brand has its own factory, a team of 380 employees<br />
and produces 32,000 pairs of shoes each month!<br />
We were thrilled to be able to interview the<br />
designers after the launch of their new autumn/<br />
winter collection which pays homage to the<br />
wonderful world of cinema complete with nods<br />
to your favourite genres - fiction, romance, and<br />
adventure are seen throughout the collection.<br />
What inspired the name of your label?<br />
Back in 2002 when Sofia, our first daughter, was 6<br />
months old we travelled to Queensland, Australia<br />
as a family to stay 3 months with my parents. During<br />
the trip, Sofia went from the sitting to crawling to<br />
standing phases, and it was when she was standing<br />
on her toes one day, balancing herself on my<br />
parent’s sofa that the image stuck in my mind. Ana<br />
had planted the seed of trying to make a baby shoe,<br />
and that night I woke up with 3 words in my head<br />
and wrote them down, Tip Toey and Joey. As Sofia<br />
was our little baby and Joey is a baby kangaroo,<br />
it just seemed to click with the moment. Tip Toey<br />
Joey was born, our baby on her tippy toes.<br />
What made you want to design for children?<br />
It was really a wonderful combination of talents and<br />
events coinciding at the right time. As a child, I had<br />
a pair of footy boots in one hand and a pencil in the<br />
other. I loved drawing birds and animals as a child,<br />
then went on to cars & people as a teenager. Having
to make career choices at school I gave up art<br />
classes for accounting and economics. A University<br />
degree in Business followed and then analyst jobs<br />
in Australia and London. It was only with the birth of<br />
Sofia that art came back into my life. I set myself the<br />
challenge of creating a functional shoe that allowed<br />
her feet to grow naturally. And so I got the pad<br />
and pencil out and started designing a beautiful,<br />
comfortable and uniquely functional shoe. It was a<br />
watershed moment as I was able to rediscover my<br />
love of drawing and at the same time apply those<br />
boring but essential business skills. So you can see<br />
I fell into children’s design, or rather it lured me in.<br />
And when you can create for your own child, the<br />
satisfaction is truly unaccountable.<br />
What is your brand’s mission statement or goal?<br />
We love children’s feet and respect the natural<br />
development of the child; we believe that footwear<br />
can be deliciously comfortable, beautiful and<br />
incredibly functional.<br />
We believe that a shoe should not inhibit the natural<br />
movement or growth of a child’s foot. A child grows<br />
through different phases and so should the footwear<br />
not only grow in size, it should grow in functionality<br />
suitable to the characteristics of that phase. We<br />
believe that the closer a shoe comes to simulating a<br />
barefoot sensation the more natural a foot will grow.<br />
We design and craft every shoe in our own factory<br />
here in Franca, the interior of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am<br />
here, Ana is here, every day to make sure we are<br />
crafting every shoe as we designed them and as we<br />
made that first shoe for Sofia 15 years ago.
30
Designer Q&A<br />
What are the motivations or inspirations behind<br />
the designs? Firstly and foremost functionality reigns<br />
supreme, it is what makes me tick, I find it hard to create<br />
something that doesn’t have a functional purpose.<br />
With functionality, I mean things actually work as they<br />
were planned and have a benefit in their function. And<br />
functionality is where we can really add value, from our<br />
anatomic barefoot shape with a wide toe box, zero arch<br />
support and minimal raised heel to our minimal raised<br />
toe. We then add the basics of every Tip Toey Joey: a<br />
stretch and stay elastic heel, soft & breathable leather<br />
lining that wicks the teaspoon of sweat that babies<br />
perspire every day, soft leather lining, elastic or velcro<br />
closure. So we put incorporate all these features and<br />
more into our timeless design all the while thinking that<br />
it has to be deliciously comfortable. If we are going to<br />
do it, let’s do it exceptionally well!<br />
Is there a style decade you are inspired by?<br />
I am a fan of all the decades and especially like the<br />
present decade. I am proud of the consciousness that<br />
is permeating through our every day, it is a wonderful<br />
time to be ‘here now’! I love the access to the world.<br />
For example, I think it is so cool to be able to listen to<br />
Monocle 24, the fantastic UK based digital radio station<br />
with incisive and inspiring interviews, in my car on the<br />
way home from our factory in Franca, Brazil. In terms of<br />
design, we try for the simple and timeless, we believe in<br />
a slow fashion attitude; hence we created our Essentials<br />
collection, it’s our timeless collection, our most timeless<br />
models in timeless colours.<br />
With this decade I do worry, even with this heightened<br />
consciousness, that we have just too many things that<br />
have no real purpose, just plain offering the same in a<br />
different package. We are living exposed to excesses<br />
of everything.<br />
What makes your label stand out in the industry?<br />
We are a children’s footwear brand that designs and<br />
produces everything in our own factory, where we<br />
appreciate and respect the specialized craft work that<br />
is needed to produce a shoe of the highest quality.<br />
How does your design philosophy change when<br />
creating for boys vs. girls?<br />
That is so interesting as it has been so fulfilling to have<br />
two girls, I have been given a chance to really delve<br />
deep into what makes them great and what makes them<br />
different to boys. I find it incredibly natural and easy to<br />
design for boys, but girls I have really had to learn! I<br />
love the quote ‘people like design that likes people’, it<br />
is so true it is pure design thinking, I had two wonderful<br />
models to test on. I still test on Kiara and she is different<br />
from Sofia, thinner and smaller. So we make our mary<br />
jane shoes with a foam lining on the heel, this gives for<br />
wider feet and yet embraces thinner feet. Across the<br />
ball of the foot, we extend our velcro strap to cater for<br />
the width differences also. In general, our female lasts<br />
are thinner than our male lasts. Girls are also changing,<br />
we have so many more sneakers for girls, some specific<br />
and some unisex. I still have one more year with Kiara,<br />
she fits our EUR 35 shoe – our shoes go up to EUR 36 –,<br />
I am still studying!<br />
What do you have coming up that you are really<br />
excited about?<br />
We are super excited to be working on some great<br />
projects within the company from new products to<br />
communication. Being in a growth phase where our<br />
digital platforms are permitting us to engage with our<br />
moms and dads, we see real potential to converse with<br />
them, learning from them and fostering an environment<br />
to spread our learning.<br />
We will be opening our USA e-commerce site in 2019,<br />
taking on the success of our Brazilian and Australian<br />
e-commerce that have opened in the last 2 years. We<br />
are developing a new family of footwear that will be<br />
added to the collection mid-2019, it is my pet project,<br />
it will incorporate everything I want our junior range to<br />
offer for the future. And we have a brand new product<br />
feature coming our with out spring/summer 2019<br />
collection!<br />

MANUELA<br />
Visiting Grandma<br />
by Ginny Bryzgalova<br />
There’s nothing more charming<br />
than Grandma’s house - the oneof-a-kind<br />
knickknacks, the glow<br />
of sunshine, the soft smell of<br />
homemade cooking wafting from the<br />
kitchen. Every trinket holds a secret<br />
story yet to be discovered that only<br />
Grandma herself can tell. In their latest<br />
collection, Manuela’s kids design draw<br />
on these uniquely magical charms to<br />
create stunning pieces made of soft<br />
cotton, velvet, and knitwear that feel<br />
like a Grandma’s hug.<br />
Founded in 2005 in Helsinki, Manuela<br />
is a Hungarian-born brand that tells<br />
a unique story with every collection.<br />
The brand was founded on the notion<br />
of “decorative minimalism,” blending<br />
Scandinavian puritanism with Hungarian<br />
decorative and colourful floral elements.<br />
Manuela describes this mix as “East<br />
European childhood dreams put into<br />
the present with a utopian style.” This<br />
balance between simplicity and fun<br />
detail evokes feelings of childhood<br />
innocence and adventure.<br />
The aspect that makes Manuela<br />
so unique is the brand’s exquisite<br />
storytelling. Every collection tells a<br />
captivating tale, most often originating<br />
from Manuela’s childhood. Part of<br />
the brand’s storytelling is expressed<br />
through fabric patterns, which are
Brand Spotlight<br />
34
printed by hand using a silkscreen technique. By<br />
using their own one-of-a-kind patterns, Manuela<br />
adds a personal touch to each collection, giving<br />
each piece of clothing a personality.<br />
Manuela’s AW 2018/19 collection, “Visiting<br />
Grandma,” is one of our favourites. The pieces’<br />
warm fabrics, unique shapes, and deep hues give<br />
the collection a fairytale quality. Manuela features<br />
velvet skirts, jumpsuits, and chunky knitwear,<br />
perfect for the chilly weather. The quality of the<br />
pieces is outstanding, with fabrics made partly<br />
in Hungary and organic components produced<br />
in Portugal. Although inspired by an older<br />
generation, the designs are far from outdated -<br />
Manuela’s beautifully crafted patterns and colour<br />
pairings make the collection timeless.<br />

top trends. Instead, you are probably filling up<br />
your online cart during your lunch break or after<br />
the kids have finally gone to sleep and crossing<br />
your fingers something fits when it arrives. If<br />
this sounds like you, Le Tote may be the perfect<br />
option to simplify your wardrobe, rock all the<br />
season’s best trends, and customize your closet<br />
every month.<br />
Do you need mostly workwear and just a few<br />
casual pieces? Or, do you have three weddings<br />
to attend in a single month? No problem!<br />
_____________________<br />
You have full control over what goes<br />
in your tote. Shortly after taking<br />
your style quiz and completing the<br />
signup process you’ll be notified<br />
that it is time to customize your<br />
tote.<br />
_____________________<br />
You’ll then be able to see what Le Tote’s styling<br />
technology has chosen for you based on your<br />
quiz, and you’ll be able to swap those items out<br />
for anything on the site.<br />
We loved that Le Tote offers thousands of ontrend<br />
and classic styles and has perfect options<br />
for the workday, the weekend and everything<br />
in between from well-known brands like Calvin<br />
Klein, Vince Camuto, and French Connection!<br />
We also enjoyed discovering new brands that<br />
we wouldn’t have known about otherwise and<br />
being able to test out new styles with zero<br />
commitment!<br />

If you find an item in your tote that<br />
you can’t possibly live without, Le<br />
Tote offers special member pricing<br />
at up to 50% off the retail price so<br />
you can keep anything from your<br />
tote and get a great deal!<br />
_____________________<br />
After customizing your tote to exactly what you<br />
want and need for the month ahead, in just<br />
2-3 days your tote arrives by priority shipping!<br />
A convenient pre-paid return shipping bag is<br />
included to make it incredibly easy to send<br />
anything you don’t want to purchase back once<br />
you are finished with the tote.<br />
For ladies who like to switch up their looks more<br />
than once per month, Le Tote also offers a plan<br />
to receive two totes per month.<br />
For mommas-to-be, you don’t want to miss<br />
Le Tote’s maternity tote full of amazing styles<br />
for expectant mothers. You can rent gorgeous<br />
maternity fashions for week 4 through week 40!<br />
The maternity styles are some of the chicest<br />
looks we’ve seen!<br />
