The lag between adult ready-to-wear styles and children's fashion continues to lessen, as evidenced by the Fall '06 children's wear collections.
“Many parents view their children as pint-sized brand extensions, so they prefer to dress them in mini-me styles,” stated Caletha Crawford, editor in chief of Earnshaw's magazine. “Starting with pregnancy, parents are determined to be perceived as hip and cool, so their children must also look the part.”
Here, the leading fashion trade magazine for children's apparel, offers an overview of the top trends for the season.
Russian—designers idealize czar and czarina looks through iconic embroideries, fur accents, paisley patterns and the liberal use of velvet fabrics. Rich hues like chocolate, plum and red add to the feeling of opulence. The look remains age appropriate thanks to Russian stacking doll motifs and bold prints.
Victorian—details like ribbon trims, lace overlays and smocked bodices continue the Victoria, aesthetic in children's, with a proliferation of fitted blazers with lace detail and big brass buttons. Long, flowing skirts round out the trend.
Military—military influences continue in silhouettes, patterns and colors. Military inspired jackets sport epaulets, insignia and multiple pockets. Camo prints take on a rainbow of color combinations and remain a staple in both boys' and girls' collections. The print graces everything from underwear to hair accessories for babies to school-age kids.
