Backstage at the New Generals Kids designer fashion show for summer 2013 at CPH Kids trade fair.

New Generals showed their summer 2013 children’s fashion collection on Friday at CPH Kids using the TAP 2 halls where Copenhagen Fashion week holds many of its adult fashion shows.

The space was huge which was fantastic for a kids catwalk show as so often they are crammed into pretty small venues since the audience does tend to be smaller and more focused than in adult ranges.

With a theme of butterflies for girls and beetles for boys on the graphic prints of their signature look the New Generals catwalk entrance was decorated with 2,000 handmade paper butterflies and giant butterfly rings were worn by the girls to continue the theme.

They are the most avante-garde of the ethical kids fashion brands and yet have full GOTS organic certification, the company focuses on a mantra of ethical + cool.

There is a great video of the show here on the Copenhagen Fashion Week website.
