Laranjinha FW 12

Creativity is one of the greatest gifts in life, isn’t it?

Portuguese brand Laranjinha launched its Fall/Winter 2012 collection celebrating the company’s 30th anniversary with a gorgeous catalogue: a book which tells the story of a little bunny rabbit who decided to open a company to create beautiful clothes for babies and children. Mr. rabbit opens its factory’s door and shows how he creates a collection and presents it in a fashion show.

Photographer Cassiano Ferraz and Little Hands Illustration developed a stunning mix of pictures and drawing, which I found amazing and very special. ♥

Besides the campaign, Laranjinha’s garments for girls and boys, from 0-8 years old, are (of course!) also lo-ve-ly! Check it out!

Nenes

When I was still in Zürich, I used to walk around the city to look for kidswear shops that I might like to share here in this blog. One thing I noticed was the lack of shoe shops for children. Kids Extra was the only place I found with a good range of nice pairs for girls and boys…

Till now! (Ok, I’m not in Zürich anymore but I still have secret access to what’s new and good in town! Ha ha!)

Nenes is a beautiful shop at Rigiplatz and it is specialised in stylish, prim, high-quality clothes and shoes. Sisters Olga and Raquel, both mothers of girls, understood the market needs and got into the business: cute and chic garments from Spanish brands, like Pilli Carrera, Sanmar, LioLio and Fina Ejerique can be found there, as well as shoes from Caminito, Chiquitín, Garvalín and Petit Shoes.

They are also specialised in clothes for special occasions, such as baptism or first comunion. PER-FECT!!!

I’m sure all moms in town are very very pleased!

Nenes. Winterthurerstrasse 13, 8006 Zürich. Tel 044 350 27 27.

Hucklebones

I don’t even want to count how many days I’ve been away from my beloved blog. Working 100% in a big city is very different from life in calm Zürich. Uf!

Nevertheless, I’ve been collecting lots of interesting material to share here with you and I’m sure you’re gonna love it.

The tricky point now is the language issue. I’m not sure if you’re all aware of this, but in Brazil not many people do speak English. Well, I guess I’ll have to find a translation tool, right? (please let me know if there is a good language application for wordpress!)

Now, the post.

3 weeks ago I bumped into this fabulous kids fashion brand called Hucklebones. Awarded ‘Emerging Talent / Best New Fashion Brand’ by the prestigious Junior Design Award, hosted by Junior Magazine, the brand really deserves all the attention.

Besides the stunning design, tailoring technics and exclusive prints, the London-based company’s philosophy is absolutely appropriate to 21st century’s market. Fabrics are carefully sourced for their high, long-lasting quality, as well as dyestuff used in printed silk is EU made and have low environmental impact.

Garments are created for girls between 3 months and 8 years old. Highlight: colour combination and collection coordination – the design teams do tell their story with excellence.

And hello Swiss readers! In Switzerland, you can find Hucklebones at online shop Lilly Max & Joey! Yeepie!

Delight yourself with some pictures of their S/S 11 and F/W 11 collections!

Petit Le Lis Blanc

Le Lis Blanc is a famous Brazilian Womenswear brand… actually, they’re a big hit all around the country, specially in Sao Paulo. Following the big trend for big brands, their design team is also developing a Kidswear line (or should I call it girlswear line?) full of natural fabrics and loose shapes – and every garment is also very romantic and feminine, just like a petit Lelis Blanc customer should be! Perfect outfits for New Year’s Eve at the beach! (no outfits for New Year’s Eve in the mountains ahahahah, sorry!)

Check their website! (also veeeeery interesting for mummies!)

Impressions from London – Cath Kidston

I spent this week in London because of a course and I had almost no time to do some errands and check out the newest Kids products (and I’m stuck here because of the bad weather….). Nevertheless, I managed to go to some shops while searching for magazines and “colours” for a project and felt in love with Cath Kidston lovely articles at Selfridges! Here are some quick impressions of her Kids collection. I would also recommend you to check her website – kids, home wear, accessories, womenswear, FABRICS (fabulous, by the way) etc etc etc…. You can find Cath Kidston in Zürich at Manor. Perfect christmas present! I already bought mine!

Stella McCartney Kids

As many top big brands, Stella McCartney also has a Kidswear Collection. But differently from other maisons, the garments are not labeled, which I personally think it’s great – baby branding is not cool.  The famous british designer clearly keeps the focus on the target group: everything very cheerful and colourful, just like every kid loves. The website is a must and they make international delivery! Here are some pictures of the collection.
