Ayda Field Williams bonded over style with ‘fashion peacock' husband Robbie

Ayda Field Williams says setting up her own clothing line was a “full circle moment”. Field Williams, 44, set up athleisure label Ayda Activewear last year, but it’s only recently she realised it was meant to be. “It’s a nice full circle moment – my great grandparents were immigrants to America, they met as factory workers when they were about 12 and 13,” Fields Williams recounts. “They had no money, they didn’t speak the language – and they were married by the time they were 15 or 17. They created a little fashion empire between the two of them – she would do the designs, and he would manufacture.”

The link only occurred to Field Williams recently, and she says: “My great grandparents would be really proud that their great granddaughter is in the schmatte [the Yiddish word for ‘rags’] business. It’s in my blood.”

 

But it wasn’t an easy road for Field Williams to get there. The actor – who appeared in Noughties comedy-drama Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Fresh Meat in 2016, and married singer Robbie Williams in 2010 – says she “always wanted to do it, but I thought I had no right to do it – I wasn’t in fashion, I wasn’t a businesswoman, I wasn’t a tech start-up person, I wasn’t Silicon Valley money or VC money. I thought people like me don’t do that.” Imposter syndrome slowed Field Williams down – until the pandemic hit. “My mum had just been diagnosed with cancer, which was really scary. We were locked in the house and the world was really scary, and I was sat there with my thoughts. “I think in the face of all the fear and all the things that were happening in my life that felt so unsafe, the voice of insecurity and the voice of doubt became almost irrelevant. It was so trivial in the face of what was going on in the world and in my life.

“I didn’t have room for that kind of fear, and the fear of failure – because I didn’t know if we were going to make it. None of us did. And I didn’t know if my mum was going to make it.”

 

Good-natured swearing peppers Field Williams’ excitable answers, and this is what she calls her “f*** it aha moment”. She says: “I also have to credit Rob, too. He couldn’t perform – here’s someone whose whole passion and livelihood has been taken from him abruptly, and he was figuring out what that looked like for him. I would see him doing art in the dining room – he turned our whole dining room into an art studio. “He was drawing all day and he has no background in art, but that was how he was expressing his music, his art at the time. Watching him free fall into something completely outside of his comfort zone, and being in this state of free fall in the universe and in my own personal life – I decided to free fall into it. So I just said f*** it. Let me try.”

 

Over a year after launching, has Field Williams got over her imposter syndrome?

 

“It’s always lurking in the background of anything you do – that’s probably what prevents you from tipping into hubris. But I don’t think I’m listening to it very much.”

 

Field Williams shares four children with her husband: Teddy, 11, Charlie, nine, Coco, five, and Beau, three, and she says the couple “always” bonded over fashion. “He’s a little fashion peacock himself, so I appreciate his feedback,” she says – while adding with an explosive laugh: “Let’s be honest, he dresses better now that I’m in his life.” “He’s a klepto, but it does look good on him,” she admits. “But I’m very lucky he appreciates fashion, because he can get excited about it with me.”

 

We speak the morning the Netflix documentary, Robbie Williams, drops, and Robbie has just flown to Australia to tour – leaving Field Williams discovering he’d nicked her socks. Looking back, it feels like an inevitability Field Williams took this path “I always loved clothes, much to my mum’s chagrin. I loved clothes too much,” she says – and it’s hereditary. “I had a grandmother who was incredibly fashion forward; even in her 80s she was wearing young designers in Paris, drinking until two in the morning with a bunch of cool fashionistas. She was a real inspiration to me. I think her love of fashion and her fabulousness trickled down… And I’m grateful to her for that.”

 

But now, Field Williams is looking towards the future and the next collection she’ll be designing. Every time she gets to see her clothes in the flesh, she says wryly: “It feels like Christmas all over again. It’s like a mini birth every time without all the vaginal tearing – it’s wonderful.”

Wonder if it is true or if they have picked words out of context.

 

I also wonder how Ayda's fashion line does. I did not like many items in the beginning, but like the winter collection colours. I also wonder if she is doing the design herself or if someone is doing it for her.

more out of

 

There are very few FC seats available on most airlines , I guess the nanny's mind the kids in economy :)

 

I like the Ayda clothing range , I guess it's more than likely a collab with some designer but you can see it's Ayda's style for sure. It's really developed from day one & now looks more luxurious...

In memory of the late Shane MacGowan who was laid to rest today. May he RIP

 

 

 

I had a go at this yesterday - it was incredibly hard to pick just 20 - I changed my mind about ten times.

 

Also served as a reminder of all his beautiful songs including the UTR ones. :heart:

The following post is from RWFanfest Facebook page & is a warning that should be taken notice of . Folk need to be careful before handing over money to people they do not know or who pretend to be someone else or represent somebody like Robbie.

 

A big thanks to REFanfest for the post.

When you know it’s wrong but you just can’t help yourself…. would you just look at the caption on this one.

These people are BOLD.

Bare faced liars too.

Sadly these people are stealing money from Robbie’s fans on a regular basis. Offering fake “VIP passes”, “Livestreams” trying to sell “backstage passes” and offering “meet and greets” for money.

They were all over the XXV tour like a nasty rash.

None of these things are EVER for sale and nobody will EVER receive them.

They are scammers.

Robbie doesn’t need an Apple Music card or an Amazon Gift card… we’re pretty sure he can afford to pay for his own. You won’t be getting a private tour of anywhere he lives in either.

Because it isn’t HIM!

Victims of these scammers will just have their bank accounts drained and probably get their identity stolen as well…

Think the very worst one we have heard recently through our page was from somebody who messaged us and has steadily given £6900 over the course of the last 12 months “to invest in Lufthaus.”

Sadly she didn’t believe us when we told her she was being scammed. She accused us of being “jealous of her relationship with Robbie which has been going on for years” when we told her that she needed to stop giving money to whoever she was sending it to. We told her she needed to contact her bank and the police.

We block at least 20 new fake Robbie accounts EVERY SINGLE DAY. We’ve blocked 32 new fake Robbie accounts and fake Robbie pages so far today…

There are at least three large Robbie Facebook groups (with thousands of followers) where the majority of the membership of those groups appears to be “fake Robbie’s.”

One big fake factory set up that keeps growing in size - but their members are 90% fake Robbie’s… so be choosy and careful about the pages and groups you are following on Facebook!

Sadly, follower count doesn’t always represent page quality. These three groups in particular are just churning out scammers.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it OVER AND OVER AGAIN:

Robbie Williams NEVER contacts his fans privately by ANY FORM of social media. Nobody from his management team does either. Robbie doesn’t even have the passwords to his OWN social media.

We will do everything we can to keep these lowlife scammers off our page - but very occasionally a newly created rogue one or a romance scammer slips through the filters we’ve set up, because so many brand new accounts are created every single day.

So if you ever see anything as a reply to you on our page that looks suspicious?

Please tag us in the comments and we will block and report them immediately…

Let’s keep this a safe space for the fans. We will bin them off… 🗑️

Team RWFanfest ❤️
