Beautiful photoshoot for Kidscase cool children’s fashion knitwear for fall / winter 2013.

Kidscase produce cool modern knitwear for babies and children and have always used a colour palette that is unisex and modern.

They have an ecoethic approach that sees most of the collection produced using organic fibres and with humane working conditions. They have worked for quite a few seasons now with the photographer Annemarieke van Drimmelen and always produce a set of dreamy, beautifully lit emotive portraits of children in the Kidscase collection new styles.

They recently created a webshop online at their website Kidscase.com and have a Facebook page which doubles up as a blog. Here is a sneak peek at their new fall / winter 2013/14 season collection.

Kids fashion trends for the fall / winter 2013 season, Pitti Bimbo 76 opens tomorrow.

From what I have seen so far of the winter season for 2013 kidswear, the vivid brightness of summer seems to have been toned down with just a few bright key pieces livening up otherwise traditional autumnal colours.

The soft tones remain too in sludgy pinks, greens and greys. Fluted sleeves, fitted jackets, gently flared skirts and skinny trousers seem to be the silhouette with bib neck or Peter Pan collar styles in favour too. Tribal prints also are gaining ground as a potential new widespread trend.

For those with the time and interest Il Gufo will be live streaming their kids fashion show on the catwalk at Pitti Bimbo 76 on Jan 18th at around 11.00am European time and as usual a selection of shots from the catwalks and fair will be available on the Pitti Bimbo website shortly after presentations.

Always popular but there are some great variations this summer, striped trends in children’s fashion.

Everywhere I look there are stripes coming into the stores now, here is a round up of some of the best examples of the way designers are refiguring stripes in kids fashion, mixing widths, colours, adding shapes and distorting them from Simonetta, Kidscase, Mini Boden and others.

Kleine Fabriek, the big hitters for children’s fashion winter 2012 – Part 2

Some of the big Dutch names were showing at Kleine Fabriek, Oilily and Room Seven amongst them, which with the homes/fashion crossover was perfectly sited on the edge of the homes section.There were some good interior pieces and I will post about those at a later date.

No room for all the big names here;  Nono, SuperTrash Girls, Tumble n Dry, Jottum, Petit Louie, and Kidscase. Also showing from overseas were Soft Gallery, Sprout by Gro, Finger in the Nose, Little Marc Jacobs and from the UK, Poppy, I Love Gorgeous, Pepe and Frugi, but I hope you like the selection I have chosen.
