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


Listen Later

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 flock 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.
