Blogger Molly Gunn, who created the Selfish Mother brand and the #GoodTees initiative, has worked on the silly slogan sweatshirt designs with models including Poppy Delevingne, David Gandy, Jon Kortajarena, Karen Elson, Laura Bailey, Erin O’Connor and Immy Waterhouse.
“I’m excited to be supporting Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day!” says Molly, “I’ve always admired the incredible work the charity does both in the UK and around the world. Whether the sweatshirts are a treat or a secret-santa gift for a loved one, I hope people enjoy wearing the sweatshirts this Christmas and feel good knowing they’re contributing towards giving children the best chance in life.”

,“We are delighted to have Molly Gunn of Selfish Mother on board along with inspiring models Karen, Laura and Immy who have all worked together to create these fun, slogan designs,” says Helena Wiltshire Head of PR at Save the Children. “Money raised from the sale of the sweaters could help Save the Children give children living in a refugee camp clothes to keep them warm through winter or buy nutritious food for their entire family. It could also help us to bring essentials like healthcare, education, protection and food to the millions of children around the world who are missing out on the most basic support. All this, just by wearing a sweater – it’s a very silly way to solve some very serious problems!”
