Kiddos dance between booths at Playtime NY, Feb. 2019
While Fashion Month is well underway, there’s one event we certainly plan our year around. Playtime NY took over the Metropolitan Pavilion with hundreds of brands, both veteran and new comers, whose collections will be hitting stores in the fall.
Many of our readers may not be familiar with our partners like Playtime NY, Pitti Bimbo and Children’s Club as they are dedicated shows for buyers and press to attend, preview collections and place orders for you and your mini’s to head to your local or online shop and dress them in the latest & greatest looks.
Take a look at some of our favorite collections below, then head to our Insta and drop a comment on your fave!
Tia Cibani Kids FW19
We got to chat with our friend, Tia Cibani, designer and founder of Tia Cibani Kids -one of the most whimsical meets sophisticated collections out there. Her collection was inspired by artist, Amrita Sher-Gil, the half Indian, half Hungarian artist from the 1920’s. The color palette was inspired by one the artists works, which is quite evident throughout all the detail and colors of the collection. Check out @petitePARADE #IGTV to see the full interview with Tia!
Trends certainly popped at Playtime NY. The show curated three installations highlighting very revenant and dynamic trends of families we can all learn from:
The Committed Family: touched on all things eco-friendly and sustainable. This “family” has a good sense, resourcefulness and innovation are their watchwords. Nothing is thrown away, things are reused and revamped. Their wardrobe is offered a second life with a cheerful remix of vintage. Materials are recycled, wools recovered and reassembled, furniture and toys are made of paper or bioplastic.
Tech Nomads: This family takes a break from the overly hectic life. Imagine a year-long trip around the world. The family will bring together ethnic and contemporary folkloric items from this tour. Metallics, iridescent textiles and accessories were strung from the ceiling juxtaposed with geometric shapes.
The Creative Gang: Driven by benevolence and creative emulation. Fluid contours, a sort of creative gang cultivating a sense of sharing and taste of experimentation. Net flannels, quilted fleeces and raw denims, and assorted gummy and shiny textures.
Buyers admire the Madison Frida FW19 Collection
The FW19 collection of Maison Frida “was inspired by films of the great Wes Anderson” explained designer Soizic Villanueva while walking us through the collection. We’re totally feeling all the burgundy, mustards, denim blues in their casual but comfortable (and eco-conscious) collection. Nothing like a red knit beanie, a yellow vest and striped red & white tee to tie in the perfect look for the next Anderson flick.
Raspberry Plum FW19 Collection
A collection that never disappoints and always surprises is that of Raspberry Plum! The details like embroidered fishes and birds on collars and pastels juxtaposed with bright pops of orange, all set an exciting and fun mood for FW19. Would you agree?
