The new Stella McCartney Kids collection unites the spirit and energy of children, while continuing to
reflect the designer’s signature modern aesthetic and ethical values. Stella’s signature muted colour
palette is mixed with bright denims, colourful prints and detailed embroideries in a variety of contrasting
colours like hot pink, bright melon, ultra orange and truck red.

Plus, her ever present humorous printed t-shirts include dinosaurs in sunglasses, banana cowboys and lively citrus fruits.
Denim features throughout the collection and includes the western-inspired Samuel shirt (ooh we love) as well as the
wide leg Jet jeans (’bout time) and the patch pocket Taz shorts in dinosaur khaki.

As in previous seasons, highlights of the collection include “mini-me” pieces that have been adapted
from Stella’s main collection and shrunken down for kids, such as the Flo jumpsuit, the Deborah denim
dress, the embroidery anglais Ettie dress and the Suzy dress in yellow and blue strips with puff
shoulders.

Continuing the support for Meat Free Monday, a percentage of the sales for the 8 items featuring a
“horse print” will contribute to the awareness campaign.

Our pick of the accessories Stella has designed this season are the embroidered Cherry cowboy boots and the ‘Linda’ sandals – they are super cute.

The Cambridge Satchel Company make traditional leather satchels. Founded by Julie Deane, who was motivated to find a way to place her daughter, who was being bullied at her school, into a private school. This company is only 4 years old but these made in England IT bags are very cool accessories that your kids can easily put their snack boxes into.

Its a little bit cheeky and a little bit rock and roll. WOWCH is a super cool grown up’s brand that has started making for kids. All their tees are American Apparel made and the collages are painstakingly applied to order in Brooklyn NYC.  Picture these little tees on your hipster with some cool bright blue skinny jeans or if you like the striped tee – wear it with some grey or even yellow denim!

MODA Clothing Co is a mom and pop brand owned by Matthew and Cammy Barnett. They draw their inspiration from their son, Alexander. Not only is he slender and extremely hard to fit for clothing, but he has a very unique style that they found hard to find in stores.

So they decided to create their own line, featuring hand-painted graphic t-shirts, and a wide variety of accessories that are “the icing on the cake”. Their  latest collection features denim pieces with stretchy but cool waist bands, so that even the smallest boys can dress themselves – instilling a sense of confidence – “I did it all by myself!”

Their Artist’s Series T-shirt Collection features three unique designs, which are all hand-painted in house. Each of these pieces are inspired by Alexander in a different way and their Accessory collection features the famous mohawk hat (made in house), as well as fedoras, eyeglasses, belts, suspenders, watches, necklaces (made in house), bow ties (made in house), and more.

Chalk it up to good genetics and great connections, but celeb offspring are landing some pretty sweet modeling gigs lately at ages where most kids are entering their gawkiest stages.

Oasis’ Noel Gallagher gorgeous daughter Anais Gallagher was just shot by Mario Testino, but now some real modeling royalty offspring has entered the arena; Cindy Crawford’s 10-year-old daugher Kaia (dad is Rande Gerber). She’s just been announced as the new face of Young Versace. Mom Cindy was a muse of Gianni’s, so it has to be a sweet moment for everyone involved that Kaia is taking up the Versace mantle now.

“Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift,” Donatella Versace said in a release. “The camera really, really loves her. Having Cindy on-set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother’s footsteps!”

Cindy returned the love, saying:

“I’m so thrilled that Kaia was chosen to be part of the first Young Versace Campaign. I have so many fond memories of the times I spent with Gianni and Donatella. There is something so very special about the House of Versace. Being on-set with my daughter watching her in front of the camera was a fantastic experience. I am so proud of her.”

The campaign was shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot and the Young Versace line will debut during Pitti Immagine Bimbo in Florence tomorrow. It’s geared towards kids ages 0-12 and we’re happy to report that while the main Versace line is sex personified, this one looks cute and age appropriate, while still incorporating some of Versace’s signature themes.
