Digital kids fashion week launched Day 1 at The Rendezvous with sneak peeks of spring/summer 2021 from the top names in kids designer fashion, interviews, behind the scene views and more all at The Rendezvous online and between the partners, myself, Hooligans Magazine, Scimparello Magazine and Pirouette blog.
Kicking us all off is Tia Cibani whose fall/winter collection I previewed here last week.
“The first TiA CiBANi KiDS collection was created on a whim, when a longtime supporter of designer Tia Cibani asked her to create a children’s collection using fabric from her namesake women’s line.
Tia believes that good design should be inventive, uplifting and functional! She draws inspiration from her North African heritage and the world in which we live, making for a juxtaposition of poetic charm and modern day pragmatism.
From baby to age 16, highlights of the collection include exquisite accessories as well as the Mommy+Me pairings.
“NUR” the S/S 21 collection has been developed under difficult circumstances. At times it felt frivolous to think of fabrics, colours, patterns and fashion when the world around us seemed to be in such despair over the pandemic, as well as social and political struggles, but it was the light that kept nudging at us and encouraging us to stay focused on what we know and love. To keep living, keep growing, keep our humanity, keep our passions, keep our creativity, keep our strength and keep loving one another.
As with past collections, the S/S 21 collection embraces our rich and varied global community. The references here include colourful trimmings of raffia, tassels, pompoms and embroideries along with the art of the Suri people of Ethiopia, Bauhaus weaving craft, sportive safari, floral ornamentation, checks and stripes, and the work of artists Aldo Lanzini, Simone Leigh, Tagene Kunbi, and Nick Cave. We mix all of it together, and stir in our own inspirations.”
