New Generals are one of the most innovative companies working in kids fashion today. From the beginning the brand was conceived for the modern era with its eco and sustainable ethic combined with a cool edgy direction that stems from both the creators background in adult fashion.
New Generals fall / winter 2013/14 children’s collection retains black as the key colour but this is lifted with shades of soft plum, grey and slate blue. At the catwalk show held as part of the CIFF Kids trade fair in Copenhagen, amazing braided knitwear caps, scarves and showpieces designed by David Anderson using recycled designer wear and upcycled production waste accessorised the catwalk looks.
The models stopped and paused in front of the buyers and press which gave us a great opportunity to photograph the collection from up close. I was backstage before and saw the difficult circumstances of the last few minutes, crammed into a badly lit corridor where the boots and gloves were dipped into glue and glitter right at the last minute before the models entered the stage.
