On Spinning Plates this week, I speak to @diskokids . Helen is an entrepreneur and DJ, and mum to 2 daughters, 11 year old Anya and 19 year old Lottie.
She is the founder of Disko Kids, a clothes and accessories brand that I love for its roots in music, festivals, sparkles and fun.
It also has at its heart a deep connection with charities such as Winston’s Wish. This child bereavement charity helped Helen navigate the death of her partner Ade when their daughter Lottie was just 3.
Helen told me how she strove to create video memories of Ade for Lottie, which was very hard for Ade at the time, but which Lottie really appreciates now, aged 19.
We talked about being a female founder and the passion for her business that has kept her going throughout the past 10 years. Helen says that Disko Kids is like her third child - frustrating at times but she loves it to bits. I know that feeling all too well!

One of the big reasons music is a big part of Disko Kids.

🤩New Gold Skirts are here 🪩🤩
Such a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down - perfect for festivals and a piece you’ll bring out again and again.
Elasticated waist (at back)& pockets 👍🏻
Our Kate had a great idea of me styling it different ways So here’s a few outfits hopefully showing you how versatile it is .

2 hacks styling this fab @diskokids outfit - do you do these? I have a short body so often do. Love the cuff detail on this cardi. It’s selling quickly so go fast, great with jeans too & super cosy for the current crazy spring weather. Who else had hailstones followed by bright sunshine yesterday? I couldn’t keep up!
Ad/pr outfit all lovely small brand @diskokids I’ll link on stories.
Most tees have a straight rather than curved hem - all deets on the website. The skirt is sooo flattering & comes in lots of prints and colours.

This exciting collaboration has been a long time coming!
Helen & Amber (Disko Kids & Neon Marl founders) first met back in 2018 on a ‘blind date’ at @pizzup having sparked up a friendship over Instagram discussing the highs and lows of running a small brand (IYKYK)
Now having a friendship that runs way deeper than business life - going on trips away, birthday meet ups & never ending voice notes re the trials & tribulations of life - the collaboration they’ve always talked about is here!
Dopamine Disco brings together the iconic Neon Marl motifs from their much loved best seller - a rainbow, the stunning orange tigers and the heart; and mixes it with a dose of disco, with our own best selling gold Disco Down, shattered mirror ball design in the centre - a match made in heaven!
We hope you love it as much as we have pulling this together 🪩🌈 dropping next Tuesday to DiskoKids & Neon Marl subscribers first x
Limited run
Thanks to the lovely @wardrobeofamidlifecrisis for the ace pics 📸👏🏻 a lovely friend and supporter of both our brands
