A quick post today for the first look at some of the Pitti Bimbo 83 kids fashion trends from the premier kids fashion fair for spring/summer 2017.
Kicking off with a multi label catwalk show from the Apartment section at the Fortessa in Florence the fair has been very busy and very hot!
I’ve picked out some fabulous items from some of the key brands below and just a reminder that photos of the catwalk shows are available on the Pitti Bimbo website in the photo gallery section and also that the Il Gufo show today Friday the 24th is live streamed on their own website at 11.00am European time.
Colour is an important trend at Pitti being split between the hot and vibrant sun shades or yellow, orange, pink and red contrasting with the jungle and ocean shades of emerald green, khaki, sky blue and turquoise.
For a more calming effect there are plenty of soft pastels around, not so much the sorbet shades of previous seasons but much more delicate in fabrics which reflect their delicacy too, tulle, net, lace and crepe chiffon.
Humour and fun is also a big theme with lots of quirky add on badges, cartoon faces and graphics and mini toy dolls and pompom trims and accessories.
