Banner 83rd edition of Pitti Bimbo

“Beauty” by Beatrice Brandini

It is closed the most important (and beautiful!) Exhibition of clothing and accessories for children (now also design and 360° projects) with optimistic data and confidence despite market uncertainty (what will happen after the release of the UK Euro ?!).

The fashion seen these days at the show was so creative, well done, in a nutshell, interesting … that if a market will have a little bit of flex, there will be another emerging downturn that will compensate … because it will be impossible “to ignore” these creations … so much love was distributed and taken to them ….

Vivetta. I’m madly in love with this brand, because it mixes what fashion (and art, but fashion is an art form!) should do. Fun and entertain, be beautiful and comfortable in the sense of craftsmanship and the concept of “well done” so dear to our country.

Yporqué. From the favorite phrase of the children “and why?”, comes this Spanish brand very cute. A total casual look from the cool and ironic print. Very easy for the sale.

Bobux. Booties for smallest with a construction that facilitates the natural development of the foot. Confortable and delicious, suitable to stimulate their imagination (uppers are all different !!!).

Message on the Bottle. Fascinating concept, from thje product to the packaging. Another very interesting Spanish history.

10X10 An Italian Theory. Irresistible project of Alexander Enriquez where with humor and creativity will tease Italian icons and clichés. Each season is different inspiration for this collection a little ‘Latin Lover, a little’ Peace and Love, a little Mal with Primitives ….

Anniel. Wonderful handmade shoes, completely realized in Italy (real Made in Italy!). Company with a historicity in “sports shoes”, more precisely from gymnastics and dance, has used its expertise to create a collection that refers to a dreamy world, creative and playful. Are shoes that seem to come from a fairy tale, a beautiful fairy tale, for many little princesses modern, romantic with a boho wild touch!

Amina. Collection for baby from essential line but very sophisticated, precious in the details but especially in the materials used. From the experience of Amina Rubinacci.

Dreamers. Another pleasant “discovery” this collection for creative children, dreamy, but also free. simple, who would also like to mothers lines (to wear), with a particular care and attention to the fabrics (beautiful operated) and fantasies (pattern).

Baby Moto. Beautiful wooden bike without pedals. Allow the child to acquire balance and motor coordination. All models are made in Italy with materials that respect the children and nature. Really a dream for everyone, even for adults …

Péro. Every time it amazes me this wonderful brand that creates collections with the heart (we see and feel!). Materials, colors, patterns, finishes … a global concept of authenticity and fantasy. Beautiful clothes for small and bucolic princesses.

I Pinco Pallino

I Pinco Pallino. I was pleasantly surprised (frankly is one of the collections that I liked the most), this new philosophy, line, direction of Joe Average. Those working in this sector, especially in the kidswear can not not know this extraordinary company, able, over the years, to associate its name to concepts of luxury, prestige, extreme creativity and quality in clothing for children, especially in the field of the ceremony. But this extremely imaginative collection, in almost artistic sense, has given a new life to this famous brand, making it more modern, more accessible and “easy.” Great!

Finally I worked out of personal mood for trends for next spring / summer 2017.

Chic Fun HOLIDAY: THE SEA and the holidays, with all its protagonists (fish, shells, color…, but also friends, games …), an atmosphere of laughter and lightheartedness that accompanies this magical place and time. All shades of blue, but also optical white, red strawberry, aviation blue, turquoise, touches of orange and lemon yellow. Million lines, look regatta but also playful designs that are inspired by marine animals or objects. Natural and light fabrics, san gallo for sun dresses, chambray cotton but also denim super light. Many striped ribbons, grosgrain or satin. Even the buttons and the zippers are striped, colored or with surprise effects.

ECO_No Gender: It’s above all a philosophy and modus operandi (we hope), that sensitizes the human being to have a greater respect for the environment in which he lives, from small to large gestures. The pollution, the waste, the impact eco – friendly with the production should be key words for future generations, fashion is going in this direction, or at least is trying. Another important concept is to dress freely, without a clearly defined their sex. Some things menswear ferry in the female and vice versa. infant universe should be much easier. The children are not as linked to the classification of us adults, but often like to experiment, including through codes of dress. Also this theme prefers natural textures, raw quality materials, lightweight. Almost monochromatic colors, a palette that is oriented in the natural color of the paper, like white, gray elephant, brown cardboard, little touches of yellow, violet and pink, always dusty.

Animals, Tropical … ADVENTURE: One of the favorite passions of children is the “adventure.” Understood as freedom, socialization, play, but also a way of measuring one’s personality and his courage, proving themselves. This trend is a riot of animals, flowers and plants in the fantasies, prints, applications, details or just texture. Many shades of green, from warmer tones and burned, which turn into brown, more traditional ones such as emerald green, bottle green …. camo effects, animals, but much more creative and innovative, I would say unusual. Tropical and Caribbean fantasies. Glossy effects, python effects, but processed for children and therefore always playful.

I will stop here with the first part of this incredible and beautiful show … in the next few days the second episode … always remembering that children are the most precious thing in the world … THREE THINGS HAVE FAILED OF PARADISE: STARS, FLOWERS AND CHILDREN …. (Dante Alighieri)

Good life to everyone!
