AllBody is an all inclusive clothing line made for everyone of all genders, ages, sizes, races, abilities, sexualities, ethnicities & religions. We were founded by myself (Emma Tamsin Hill), and my wonderful dad Adrian (I’m the creative side, he’s the boring business side) as we have grown my cousin Alice has joined our team. She prints & embroiders every garment in house as well as dealing with day to day emails & orders. I’m not very good at all this professional “write about how great I am” stuff but let me tell you my story…
At a young age being a bigger girl I soon learnt through TV, magazines & advertising that people that looked like me weren’t the stereotypical ideal of beauty. As I got older and ventured into my teen years this grew into me really disliking my body. I hated being bigger and thought all my problems would be solved if I looked like everyone else who were smaller and I would “fit in”. Despite this I still had a keen interest in fashion. I remember being 10 years old playing with my “be a fashion designer” toy, locking myself in my room for hours to draw up my imaginary collections. I ended up at university where I graduated with a 1st class honours degree in Fashion Styling.Then came the inevitable “what do I do now?” I had the qualifications and knowledge but couldn’t see the next step.
I began working for my parents business during this period of time and decided to start a YouTube channel. I continued to do both for a while before my channel really began to grow. Just prior to this I had discovered the “Body Positive” and “Self Love” community on Instagram. Following accounts that spread the message that it’s ok to be who you are and to love all the things you once hated. This sparked something within me. Seeing bigger women talk about their insecurities that I related too but also showing the world that your body does not define you whilst being fashion icons was so empowering for me, so I finally began my own self love journey.
