From touring with Iggy Pop, to studying homeopathy... The founder of Question Everything London, Angie Adams is one interesting lady. We wanted to find out more!

The lifestyle we choose to live, our childhoods, teenage years and cultures we experience all contribute to who we are. Influencing our style and tastes from our wardrobe to our attitudes. Angie Adams the founder of label Question Everything takes textures, colours, silhouette and print to create pieces that draw on her experiences. The result, classic shapes, easy to wear fun pieces with a raw edge. Not an easy balance to achieve. We spoke to Angie to dig a little deeper...
Angie, There aren't many childrenswear designers who's 'About Me' pages can boast "Toured worldwide with Iggy Pop"... C'mon now, don't be coy. Those days in girl punk band Fluffy must have been incredible!...Do you ever get the chance to go for it on the drums and show the kids that Mama's still got it?
They were amazing! We toured the world for two years and played with many of our heroes. I lived the rock and roll dream and I'm so grateful to have had that experience. I don't play much now but my kids do! My son Jake is in a band already with an EP out on itunes and my daughter is also a singer. I figured it was time to hand it over to the kids! It makes me happy to see how they are flourishing as musicians themselves.
And then came family life and your children, It must have been so fun creating clothes for your children, drawing on your study at London College of Fashion. It's no wonder seeing your collections now that you'd often receive compliments on your hand made pieces they would wear, was this your light bulb moment that Question Everything was born?
I've always loved clothes and fashion and back in the 80s living in Manila I'd buy fabric and go to the local tailor and have clothes made for myself - I was a big Madonna fan and I loved her style so I would design and have my own clothes made in her style at the time. Things I couldn't get in the shops. When I had kids, I would have dresses made for them on trips back to Manila and when in London, I'd receive so many compliments on them and subsequently friends and family encouraged me to start my own children's clothing business. I didn't take much convincing! I had been wanting to do it for a while. I do love the process of having an image in your head and then eventually seeing it as you imagined.
Your memories of Manila, The Philippines, your time within Fluffy must all have an influence on your collections, How do these inspirations play a part within your design process?
I have so many aspects to my thought and design process. I have my roots in the Philippines, have lived in London since I was 17, toured the world, studied homeopathy and have three children. I love the beach and sea, I love cities especially London, New York and Tokyo (I have a fascination with Japan). I love music and rock and roll culture, and of course I love my kids - these are the makings of what I do and what inspires me. Not sure how it all comes together to create the identity of Question Everything but somehow it does! It's not contrived in any way- it's just me I suppose.
