... Suvi Ainoa...

... Suvi Ainoa is a lifestyle brand for kids ( and adults )which is committed to be both stylish and sustainable. Although the name of the brand comes from Finland ( Suvi meaning "summer" and Ainoa meaning " the only one"), this brand's garments are all handmade in the States. Their aim is to create products that are useful, minimal and still beautiful. I especially love the suspender pants of the little girl in the 1st picture, too adorable!

... La Miniatura... I'm in love!

... La miniatura was created by designer Jeffrey Sebelia and entrepreneur Melissa Bochco. I have just discovered this brand and I'm in love already! La Miniatura look is drawn from the late 70's to early 80's post-punk, re-interpreted through the lens of current trends and classic details for kids. Jeffrey was discovered through season 3 of Project Runway which he ended up winning. and after a few years of designing clothes for adults, he decided to bring his edgyness to kids clothing.When questioned about the line's lush red and black velvet suits, plaid blazers and sophisticated trench coats and sweaters compared to the easy-in easy-out sweat pants moms are begrudgingly forced to stick their boys in today, Jeffrey's only reply -- "I just want my kid to be able to dress with some dignity!"

... what a great project!

... I love the concept of this project: A PAPER CLOTHES PROJECT WITH ANN DE WINDT AND CREATIVE KIDS... 20 kids performed in these amazing paper clothes on the musical version of Lady Gaga's pokerface... These are wild kids ideas !!

... Watch these spaces...

... Lots of exciting things happening for September... I'm gonna keep my eye on this new kids label called Lula Honey : " a little bit of french, a little bit of vintage and a whole lot of rock n roll"... Sounds like this brand was made for me! They are busy shooting their first campaign and I can't wait to see it!!

... Another thing to keep my eye on is a new collection designed by Bea Åkerlund for Mini Rodini. The 'Rebel with a Cause' collection is inspired by Bea's rock'n'roll style and adorned with playful details such as bows, skull clowns, dots and animal ears. Pics of this new range will also be available from September...

... feeling playful with Wovenplay...

... This is Wovenplay's collection for this summer... This New York based label has some real charm and some unique pieces as part of this collection... I am particularly fond of the green stripey jumpsuit! If I had a little girl she would have one for sure! They have also shot a really sweet campaign for this collection, the little girl eating her cupcake on the street is too cute for words!!!
