大约有十几个重要的生命课程，我们从分析今天的令人难以置信的妈妈，阿德里安娜Antonson．艺术家和创始人状态标签从第一天起就一直按照自己的意愿行事。第一课:打造一个时尚、可持续的时尚品牌并不需要住在那些以名字命名的大城市——五年前，艾德丽安(adrienne)和她的丈夫离开了布鲁克林，搬到了乔治亚州的汤姆森(Thomson)(人口6000多)。后来，他们在雅典(人口12.5万以上)更为繁华的城镇定居下来，为自己找到了一座梦幻般的农舍，并开设了STATE的第一家实体店。第二课吗?你可以在客厅里拥有一个功能齐全的艺术工作室和一个白色的沙发（你必须阅读一个有效的地球上的完整采访）。但是，我们与adrienne一起离开的最有价值的教训是，创造力是燃料，这些燃料能够从设计衣服，创造雕塑来筹集两个调整的小人物。更不用说成功的商业 - 今天的国家首次亮相新的儿童线，州儿童系列．每一件作品都是用STATE女装系列的面料废料制成的，每一种风格都是围绕着每个废料形状的约束而设计的，并努力尽可能多地使用每种纺织品——尽可能接近零浪费模式。与成人国家类似，儿童收藏旨在为那些希望为孩子做出道德购物选择的家庭提供负担得起的基本用品。我们向你保证——一旦你在下面的照片中看到小埃德拉和奥古斯特身上可爱的衣服，你将无法阻止自己。点击查看更多来自Adrienne的智慧(和幽默)词汇，以及她令人难以置信的家、工作室和商店的完整游览。

: “找到这栋房子是我生活中不可预测的事情，我已经在个人和职业上依赖它了。我喜欢冒险，并且对它们持开放和积极的态度。在这个例子中，去年夏天我在一个100华氏度的仓库里买纽扣时遇到了一个男人。在对他有所了解之后，我提到我想住在乔治亚州雅典城外几英亩大的一座旧农舍里。瞧，原来他哥哥正好有个地方。几个月后，我们第一次去看它。几个星期以来，我看了几十座房子，什么也没找到，我们走进来的那一刻，我丈夫看着我，用一种非常特别的方式微笑着，我知道这就是我们的房子。真的感觉我们注定要在这里。”

: “就像我在衣服的味道一样，我们的空间是一个不断的战斗，间缺乏极简主义和多彩的疯狂。”

: “我们的房子建于1840年，天花板有12英尺高。我们也有原始的三扇推拉窗一直延伸到地板，所以光线倾泻进来。这个房间的布局是完全开放的，而且功能多样。我们这房间里有很多艺术品。最大的一件作品是我们在《秘密目录》(Secret Catalog)拍摄照片时用过的彩色花卉背景，后来就挂在了一个角落里。它是由外部艺术家瓦尔顿·默里(Valton Murray)绘制的，它使房间变得如此明亮和愉快。我们的大格子地毯是ruggable的——我想要一些可洗的，因为，嗯，孩子。我们的沙发是宜家的，咖啡桌是复古的。我们还有一张我父母为我们做的餐桌，非常特别。”

: 一间艺术工作室在客厅意味着它的绘画时间的任何时间。

: "Edla and I started painting when we moved into the house and needed a big piece of art above the couch. We couldn’t decide on what to put there and Kevin suggested we paint something ourselves. Literally, three hours later I had transformed the corner into a makeshift studio and we all made the first painting that night. It’s the best, and allows Edla and I to work on paintings in the in-between times. I’d never paint if I had to get everything out every time, but having it there and ready makes painting a part of our daily lives. I was a painting major in college and have always had some sort of ‘studio’ at home."

: 对埃德拉来说，绘画是一种日常练习。

: “我们只是画了几个房间并修复了一些东西，没什么重大。”

: 艺术家瓦尔顿·默里的全家福。

: "I’m super thrifty and like to use what I have and make as much as possible. I'm also switching things up constantly. I love how it feels to rearrange the furniture or change out artwork. I think we’ll be in this house for a long time, and I am allowing myself to try bold ideas and experiment—I treat it like a giant studio."

: "Ha, they don’t! Our white couch has slipcovered cushions, but I also cover it with a piece of linen that I can wash regularly. A creative life is very important to me, so if things get painty it’s O.K. What matters is that we’re in the moment and making things together. My husband feels differently—he’s the tidy one—and is always keeping us in check."

Valton Murray. His work is incredible and he painted a portrait of the four of us in a field of butterflies. That hangs above the mantle and it’s what I’d grab in a fire."">: "My parents made our dining room table from a Pecan tree here in Georgia. It’s gorgeous and so special to have family dinners on a table built by your family. All of the paintings that Edla has made are treasures. Each one is about something dear to her heart—like our cat Magda passing away, or her portrait of Frida Kahlo—one of her heroes. We also have another piece I commissioned from artist瓦尔顿默里．他的工作是令人难以置信，他的蝴蝶画领域我们四人的肖像。地幔上面挂起，这就是我想要的火抢“。

: “我们有两个孩子的主要领域，但他们倾向于蔓延。我不断编辑他们的玩具，但它们似乎繁殖了。这是一个无尽的战斗。”

: “这是永远不会无聊。每一天，无论是好是坏，都以我从未想象过的最强烈的方式把你挤出来。我对孩子们的爱是如此之大，没有人能让我做好准备。它就像一艘船，我漂浮在其中，其他一切都不重要。”

: “枪口暴力，全球变暖，对妇女的生殖权利威胁，获得医疗保健，赚了足够的钱，我的孩子受伤，你知道，通常的东西。”

: “我女儿叫埃德拉·洛尔。发音“Aid-la”。这是我曾祖母的名字她从瑞典移民到芝加哥。我一直很喜欢这个名字。我们甚至有她16岁独自旅行时的行李箱。她的中间名，洛尔，是为了纪念我继父。这也是他的中间名。他对我来说非常特别，在埃德拉出生几分钟后就抱过她。他们真的有很深的联系，她能和他同名对我们来说意义重大。我儿子是奥古斯特·詹姆斯。 August is just a name we liked. But then the craziest thing happened. Weeks after August was born I got a letter in the mail from my dad’s cousin, Uncle Dick. I’ve only met him a few times, but he’s the family historian on that side of my family. The letter said how pleased he was to hear of the birth of our son August, and how now there are now two pairs of Edla and August siblings in our family. He included a handful of old black and white photos of my great grandma Edla with her brother August in Sweden. We were shocked! I had no idea when we chose the name that Edla had a brother named August. Our minds were totally blown. And James is Kevin’s grandpa’s name, which we love."

: “埃德拉4岁半了，喜欢爬树，还让我把一根30英尺长的绳子扎进她的头发，这样她就可以把绳子拉过来，假装自己是长发公主。她喜欢创作艺术和发明，还喜欢假装读巨著。August是一个20个月大的搞笑狂人。它爬到所有物体的顶端，然后用一条腿保持平衡，对着我们大喊大叫。埃德拉蹒跚学步时不是这样的，所以对我来说很新鲜。我把所有的时间都花在追逐他，把他拉下来，在他纵情一跃时抓住他。这很可怕，也很令人印象深刻。”

: 意外的家庭照片墙。

: “是的，总是。”

: "Both were pretty smooth, thank goodness. Lots of varicose veins and pressure, but nothing major! I was so much happier the second time and wasn’t a nervous wreck about every little symptom like I was with Edla. I worked out a ton during my second pregnancy, up until the last day. I felt pretty amazing. I was in better shape then than I am now!"

STATE was much smaller and the studio was in our house. So, it was easy to go pack a few orders or answer emails. And with August, I think I took him to the studio with me when he was five days old. They both came to work with me every day until they were about eight months old. My work team has watched both kids grow up, which is really special."">: “非也，随着Edla，状态更小，工作室在我们家里。因此，很容易包装几个订单或回复电子邮件。在八月，我想当他五天大时，我会带他去工作室。他们俩每天都在和我一起工作，直到他们大约八个月了。我的工作团队已经看过两个孩子长大，这真的很特别。“

Parenting the Strong Willed Child. She said she read it when I was little and it seemed like something that I could use. It was, and helped me navigate some rough patches with Edla. August is starting his tantrums early, so I need to find that book again!"">: “当Edla转了三个而且事情得到了，我们会说，激烈，我的妈妈给了我副本育儿强烈的威胁．她说，她读它时，我是一点，这似乎喜欢的事，我可以使用。它是，并且帮助我浏览一些粗糙的修补程序，并Edla。在八月初开始大发脾气，所以我需要再次找到这本书！”

: 孩子们的房间是一个梦想。

: “我希望他们的空间很有趣，明亮，充满纹理。最重要的是，它不是太珍贵或挑剔。他们的”游戏室“真的只是一个大，楼梯顶部的大型奇怪着陆。It’s great for playing as they use the railings to lower things down—lots of Rapunzel scenes playing out lately— and stretch things across. One of the best things in the playroom is the rocking alpaca I made with my parents for Edla’s first birthday. My parents are woodworkers and made the wooden structure and my mom and I upholstered it with Icelandic sheepskin. The other treasure is the dollhouse we also made together. It’s based off their 1930s Art Deco house. My parents built it and I decorated it. Our collaborations are so special and will hopefully be pieces our kids pass along to their children."

: "My mom is magical when it comes to mothering and grandmothering. She’s full of energy and ideas and the kids love every second with her. She was a teacher her entire life and every activity with my kids teaches them so much. The way she infuses each moment with education while fostering curiosity is inspiring and something I try to emulate. She makes life feel joyful and full of possibility."

: “我们在佛罗里达州盖斯维尔长大。我记得很多艺术项目和动力工具从年轻时开始。我的妈妈和我一起建造了家具，并用法式门和瓷砖楼层建造了四层雪貂笼 - 我们甚至制作了微型门的花圈！这是一个超级创造力和自由的童年树堡垒，我的房间里的摩托车而不问。我从一只年轻的时候卖家门口，洗车，制作贺卡的东西是企业的。。我有美好的回忆让我的妈妈开车给Kinkos在5年级打印我的第一个名片。我也为我们所有的堡垒制作了层压的会员卡。也，很多盒装通心粉和奶酪。“

: “我觉得自己很有趣、有爱心、非常诚实、善于沟通。埃德拉会同意，还会补充说我说了太多脏话。”

: "I feel a great responsibility and interest to stay educated and up to date with what’s going on politically and culturally. Edla and I are already having deep talks about certain topics she overhears me listening to on podcasts or the news—recently she asked me to explain abortion. She’s so curious and asks a ton of questions. I try to be as honest as I can without scaring her or creating anxiety. I want my children to be a lot more engaged in the state of our country than I was growing up. I don’t remember my parents talking about politics at all, or making that part of our family dialogue. I think, in part, things were so different then. But now politics touch all parts of our lives and so much is at stake—the environment, racial and gender equality, health care, taxes, etc, etc, etc.—it’s so critical to not turn a blind eye. I hope we’re modeling that for our children. We try to involve them as much as we can—taking them to marches, to the voting booth—I want them to care and be inspired to help change things for the better."

: “出席，喝大量的水，尽量不要谷歌一切，让妈妈的朋友了解你经历的东西，对自己善待。”

: 艾德丽安的父母手工制作的玩具屋。

: “不！我们最近尝试过一只小狗，甚至太多了规模。这是我们的完美数量。”

: "I involve them in everything I do, and a large part of that is some creative project or another. It’s such a fun way to interact—we share ideas and theories about process and execution. They help me problem solve and use tools. And I think they have a sense of accomplishment when we finish something. Painting with Edla has been such a special experience. She chooses to tackle major feelings in each painting and each one is truly a timeline of her processing an emotion—like when we re-homed our new puppy and she was heartbroken. Art is such a healthy way to navigate feelings and I’m thrilled she is already using it to work through hers. She’s a highly emotional kid, so hopefully this will come in handy later in her life."

: “凉爽，舒适，最有可能用油漆或意大利面酱染色。”

STATE because I wanted to make pieces for other women in similar stages of life. Motherhood is MESSY. So, I tend to wear pieces that can wash easily and well. And I love to keep it a little weird with print mixing and colors because it makes me feel like myself. We went to a parent meeting at Edla’s new school this week and as we were walking in Kevin said 'You realize your white dress is see-through?' And I said 'Yeeeeah. That’s why I’m wearing these polka dot britches!'"">: “我母乳喂养了一秒钟超过四年。这意味着四年只有纽扣连衣裙，便于访问。这激发了我们的很多设计状态因为我想为其他处于相似人生阶段的女性制作作品。母亲是混乱的。所以，我倾向于穿容易洗的衣服。我喜欢把它弄得有点奇怪，因为它让我感觉像我自己。这周我们去埃德拉的新学校参加家长会，当我们走进去时，凯文说:“你知道你的白裙子是透明的吗?”我说‘耶。所以我才穿了这条圆点裤!'＂

Perfect Pants and Swayers are the pants of my dreams. These pants have made me love my postpartum body, and they’re so fun to style. As for brands, I mostly wear weirdo STATE pieces that we’re testing or weren’t good enough to sell. I love my pants from Beaton, and I have a few pieces from Heinui that I adore. Basics from ARQ, shoes from Bensimon, and boots from Cydwoq."">: “我喜欢一件简单的衣服，我可以轻松地穿上，我们的完美的裤子和Swayers是我梦中的裤子。这些裤子使我爱我的产后身材，他们是如此有趣的风格。至于品牌，我大多穿怪人状态那些我们正在测试的或者卖不出去的东西。我喜欢我的裤子比顿，我有几件从Heinui我崇拜。基础知识ARQ.，鞋子Bensimon，靴子来自Cydwoq。“

: “我努力以身作则，以身作则，善待他人，尊重他人。我想让他们知道，他们能把任何事情变成现实。我希望他们快乐，充满活力。希望这些就是我想要的生活模式。但另一方面，我绝对可以少骂人，少吃意大利面。”

: "We just moved here in November 2018, but it immediately felt like home. We’ve lived in 5 cities in the last 10 years, so to finally settle and put down roots felt so good. Athens is the perfect size. Not too big, not too small. The right amount of good food, fun things for kids to do, and lots of amazing, grounded people. Our kids go to wonderful schools and I’m very grateful for the community we’re a part of."

STATE and if I wouldn’t miss my mom so much, we’d be there in a second. Every time there’s another mass shooting I look for real estate there. It’s become a weird habit that lets me escape America for a minute."">: “爱尔兰，一瞬间。如果我没有状态如果我不那么想我妈妈，我们马上就能到。每次发生大规模枪击案，我就去那里找房子。这已经成为一种奇怪的习惯，让我有一分钟时间可以逃离美国。”

The National every day. A favorite little road trip is swinging by our friends at Café Racer for drive-through biscuits and then driving to Watson Mill Bridge State Park for a picnic, and ending at Neat Pieces Antiques. It’s an entire block of an old town that the nicest man has made into a never-ending antique shop."">: “我可以吃饭全国每一天。我们最喜欢的自驾游就是在咖啡馆赛车用于驾驶饼干然后开车到沃森米尔桥州立公园野餐，结束整洁的块古董．这是一个老城的整个街区，一个最善良的人把它变成了一家永无止境的古董店。”

: 雅典碧空无边。

Moon Milk morning and night and I'm obsessed. It's making my face so happy. I use Nucifera’s Mist in between steps for extra hydration. My kids love being sprayed with it, too. They line up like baby birds and I spray their faces. I also use the Nucifera Balm on just about everything—it’s a miracle cream! Heals diaper rash better than anything else, dry skin spots, and I use it as a general body moisturizer on special occasions."">: “我的日常美容保养很简单。我总是在改变，我很难花很多钱为自己买产品。我刚开始用胖和月亮的月亮牛奶早晚，我很迷恋。它让我的脸很开心。我用椰子的雾在两个步骤之间进行额外的水合作用。我的孩子们也喜欢被喷上它。他们像雏鸟一样排着队，我给他们脸上喷水。我也使用椰子香油几乎所有的东西上都有——这是一种神奇的奶油!对尿布疹和干性皮肤斑点的治疗效果最好，我在特殊场合把它用作全身保湿剂。”

pelvic floor issues after my last delivery. It’s a little intense, but also super empowering. So many women have issues with their pelvic floor and don’t know there is help for it. Kegels! It’s all about the kegels."">: “在自我护理方面，我会给自己打D。我希望我能在这方面做得更好，但这不是天生的。当我能养成良好的锻炼习惯时，我真的感觉到了最佳状态。对我来说，在家锻炼是不可能的——不可避免地会有一个孩子坐在我身上做平板支撑。所以，我尽量早点去上班，在办公室里锻炼。不是很迷人，但我最近开始物理治疗我的盆底上次交货后出现了问题。有点紧张，但也很有力量。很多女性都有骨盆底的问题，却不知道有什么方法可以帮助她们。凯格尔!这都是关于凯格尔。”

: 在工作室里和国家商店里面。

STATE. We’ve been an online store for six years or so, but just opened our first brick-and-mortar store in Athens, Georgia, where we’re based. STATE was once just me, but now employs 8+ lovely people and we’re growing every day. We make all of our clothes and also paint and print on them in house. We’re working on a kids' line out of our fabric scraps that launches mid-September and I couldn’t be more excited about that. I love my job and feel so lucky to do what I do."">: “我设计并运行一个名为的服装品牌状态．我们一直是六年左右的在线商店，但刚刚在佐治亚州雅典的第一架砖和尸体店，我们在那里，我们是为主的。状态曾经只有我一个人，但现在有8多名可爱的员工，我们每天都在成长。我们自己做所有的衣服，也在家里在衣服上画画和打印。我们正在用我们的废布打造一个儿童系列，将于9月中旬推出，对此我感到非常兴奋。我热爱我的工作，能做这样的工作我感到很幸运。”

STATE started and I made my first smock to wear as my farm uniform. We moved around a bit more and ended up in Brooklyn for a few years. It was very pivotal for me, as I started understanding how traditional fashion manufacturing happens, and started working with a factory in the Garment District—which I still work with today! I was also working at the Textile Arts Center there and met dozens of designers who became friends and great resources. After Brooklyn, we headed south to a tiny town called Thomson, Georgia (population 6,000+), where my mom lived, and that’s where we had our two children. It was a quiet and affordable place to settle for a bit and also where STATE really took shape and became what it is today. Having more studio space, and the drive that parenthood brings, helped the company grow from just me to a handful of incredible employees. After the fog of early parenthood cleared, we were ready to live in a more progressive town, and Athens, Georgia, felt right. It truly feels like home and we’ve recently convinced my folks to move here, too. My dreams of a family compound are taking shape!"">: “我出生在佛罗里达州的盖斯维尔。高中毕业后，我去了南卡罗来纳州的查尔斯顿大学，学习了工作室艺术。我教导自己缝制在五年级并进行制作衣服。毕业后，我开始设计和卖衣服in Charleston. I met my husband and we moved to Vashon Island, Washington, on a lark, where we lived and worked on an alpaca farm for a few years. It was heaven and I did lots of felting from the alpaca’s fleece. Seattle is where状态开始，我第一次罩衫穿成我的农场均匀。我们搬来搬去了一点，在布鲁克林结束了几年。这对我来说是非常关键的，因为我开始理解的方式制造传统如何发生，并开始与在服装区，我还是今天上班一家工厂打工！我也在工作纺织艺术中心在那里遇到了几十个成为朋友和伟大资源的设计师。在布鲁克林之后，我们向南到一个叫做汤姆森，格鲁吉亚（人口6,000+）的小镇，我妈妈住在哪里，这就是我们有两个孩子的地方。这是一个安静而实惠的地方，也可以在哪里满足状态真的塑造了，成为今天的东西。拥有更多的Studio空间，以及父母身份带来的驱动器，帮助公司从我只是少数令人难以置信的员工。在早期父母的雾中被清除后，我们已准备好居住在更加普通的镇，佐治亚州雅典，感觉到。它真的感觉就像家一样，我们最近让我的人们在这里搬家。我对家庭化合物的梦想是塑造！“

STATE one day, and nothing makes me happier. I doubt it will play out that way, but the idea of building a company that I could pass along one day gives me more motivation than anything else right now."">: “我一直都知道我会为自己工作，这对一个母亲来说太方便了。孩子们可以随时来工作室，这里就像他们的第二个家。现在我们有了一个很棒的团队，我可以溜出去预约医生，或者在他们生病的时候在家陪他们。从创作的角度来看，母亲的身份也塑造了我的作品。它激发了我想要穿的功能性服装和设计，所以我可以穿着它们在地板上爬来爬去，但不会牺牲风格或设计。我也想做一些让他们在回顾时喜欢的很酷的东西。最近。埃德拉一直说她想工作——然后跑——状态就一天，没什么能让我更开心了。我怀疑事情会不会发展成那样，但现在，建立一家有朝一日可以传承的公司的想法给了我最大的动力。”

STATE grows. My husband, Kevin, is also an amazing dad. He wakes up early to pack the kids' lunches, and also makes breakfast each day. He loves things to be tidy, so insists on cleaning the kitchen each night after dinner—he says I do it wrong, ha!—and it’s such a treat. I get to play outside with the kids while he methodically cleans and listens to old Irish ballads. It’s a sweet routine."">: “是的！我的生活取决于我们的支持系统。正如我所提到的那样，我的妈妈和继父最近搬到了雅典，我们花了很多时间与他们一起度过了很多时间。我们还有一个有助于儿童学校接送等的美好保姆。她允许我在一整天工作，这会变得越来越重要状态生长。我的丈夫凯文也是个很棒的父亲。他每天起得很早，为孩子们准备午餐，也每天做早餐。他喜欢东西整洁，所以坚持每天晚饭后打扫厨房——他说我做错了，哈!-这真是一种享受。我可以和孩子们在外面玩，而他则有条不紊地打扫房间，听着古老的爱尔兰民谣。这是一种甜蜜的惯例。”

: "I have finally made peace with not being perfect. Some days I’m an A+ mom, and mediocre at my job, and other days I crush it at work and barely see my kids. But I think it all evens out in the end."

: "Mom guilt is real. I feel it often and haven’t found the best way to process it. It’s the worst when you child gets hurt and you’re not there to help or stop it. That deep, sinking feeling stays with me for hours and hours. But, it’s unavoidable, and I try to forgive myself. We can’t do it all, and we're all doing our best."

: 每天带你女儿来上班。

STATE grows we have employees everywhere! Showers are where I can find a little bit of quiet, and I try to maximize that by drinking a glass of wine AND watching TV on my phone while I shower. It’s a multitasking triumph and I love it. One perk of motherhood is that I’ve developed the ability to make a few single seconds feel like hours. For instance, if I’m outside with the kids and a breeze comes, I close my eyes and drink it in. Slowing everything down and relishing those few seconds where it’s quiet and beautiful, letting the wind wash over me and listening acutely to the sounds, feeling the sunshine and the shadows. I come fully into my body and the moment, and I imagine zooming way, way out above us, seeing myself as a tiny person in this giant world. Something about that calms me and gives me peaceful perspective—I’m not just a mom, or an artist, or a wife. I’m just a human. I can get a lot of restoration out of those few seconds."">: “我的时间太少了。工作过去能带来平静，但现在状态不断增长，我们有员工无处不在！骤雨是在哪里可以找到安静的一点点，我尝试喝了一杯酒，我的手机上观看电视，而我淋浴最大化。这是一个多任务的胜利，我喜欢它。母亲的一个振作的是，我已经开发做出几单秒钟感觉小时的能力。For instance, if I’m outside with the kids and a breeze comes, I close my eyes and drink it in.

: 在工作中，更鼓舞人心的地方创造。

STATE, which is the right amount of exciting and terrifying—as I’m learning the best things usually are! Personally, I’d just like to take better care of myself and get in great shape. Take a trip alone with my husband. And I’d love to build the kids a treehouse."">: “我们考虑了一个大的扩张状态，这是令人兴奋的和可怕的，因为我学的最好的事情通常是适量！就个人而言，我只想把自己照顾得更好，身材很好搞定。走一趟单独与我的丈夫。我很想打造孩子们的树屋。”
