his season’s little Chloé girl takes her cues from the Maison’s to mboyish roots in stonewashed velvet overalls, slouchy shorts and easy-fit pants that are paired with a classic Chloé logo sweatshirt and low-top sneakers for a sporty touch. A pretty palette of slate grey, powder blue and soft pink speaks of girlish innocence, as do the silk dresses with ruffles and billowing dresses and blouses with guipure lace details that add to this season’s easy allure. Fall-Winter calls for warmer separates and mirroring her mother’s style, this season’s little girl is wrapped in chunky woollen scarves, cropped knitted jumpers and her very own Chloé cape.

Hello Dear Readers,

F

irst of all, I would like to thank you kindly for your interest in our first issue on behalf of the entire Little Style Magazine staffs. As a Little Style family, In every second of our hard work we were passionate & We enjoyed working diligently to present you a better and qualified magazine which please you for every page that you turn.

We have received very positive responses from our readers for our first issue, both within the industry or parents who cares about their children’s dressing style. Most of the comments coming from inside Turkey were demanding for Turkish version of the Magazine. So in respond to all those nice & friendly comments we decided to publish our magazine as two separate journals in English and Turkish languages. We are convinced that this big step will improve our vision within the children’s fashion industry and also will contribute to the children’s ready-to-wear sector in a positive & constructive way. Sometimes we get so busy in life that we don’t notice how fast the seasons change?! I feel like hearing you say “Where did Autumn come from?” And what should I shop for my child/ children this Autumn/Winter? You know, all the famous brands & children fashion designers have already launched their collection for Autumn/ Winter 2016-2017 season & new stuffs have already taken their place in stores around the world, even They’ve already started planning for the next season. As always, we have been trying to include the latest & the most eye-catching collections of the companies for the Autumn-Winter ‘16-’17 season. We have created a rich content for you by referring to the company introductions, their latest advertisements, sections for the latest looks, charity organizations & much more... Let’s never forget that as well as us, it is our children’s right to be dressed in a healthy and fashionable way too. Stay in love & Happy 2017!

he NEXT retail chain was launched in February 1982 and the first store opened with an exclusive coordinated collection of stylish clothes, shoes and accessories for women. Collections for men, children and the home quickly followed. NEXT clothes are styled by its in-house design team to offer great style, quality and value for money with a contemporary fashion edge. Today NEXT trades from more than 500 stores in the UK and Eire and around 200 stores in 40 countries overseas. Over the last few years several larger format fashion and home stores have opened across the UK. In August 2011, NEXT opened its first combined fashion, home and garden store at Shoreham-by-Sea. 2014 saw the opening of 2 further large home and fashion stores which were built from the ground up. These home and fashion stores, in Hedgend and Maidstone, boast aspirational out of town architecture and were followed by the opening of the High Wycombe super store in 2015. The groundbreaking mail order operation NEXT Directory launched in 1988 with a hardback book containing 350 pages, creating the blueprint for catalogue retailing. There are over 770 pages in the Summer 2016 book alone offering extensive collections for men, women, children and everything for the well dressed home. Online shopping was introduced in 1999 and the entire book became available to shop from on the internet, page by page – another first in home shopping in the UK. NEXT Directory now also serves customers in around 70 countries outside the UK. NEXT continues to improve customer service, introducing new initiatives such as next day delivery to home (normal fee is £3.99) as standard for NEXT Directory orders placed before midnight and for free next day delivery to store.

PLAYTIME PARIS

TH 0 2 ion it d E

From July 2 to 4, Playtime Paris celebrated its 20th edition and 10 years of existence! A remarkable age for the show, which was held at the Events space of the Parc Floral de Paris, and which hosted more than 500 children’s and maternity brands, an increase of thirty exhibitors since last year.

T

he widely comprehensive range on offer (71% children’s fashion, 20% gifts, 9% maternity) brought 5782 professional visitors to the show, a 7.6% decrease from last summer’s edition. “This result can be explained by a combination of several factors. Unfortunately, Paris has suffered from a certain disenchantment over the past several months due to repeated strikes and demonstrations, the difficulty of finding accommodation during the Euro, and a climate of insecurity, all of which have made travelling to the capital more difficult”, explained Sebastien de Hutten, the director of the show. “At the same time, the children’s market remains fragile, with over-stocked retailers who have to face significant declines in turnover”, he adds.

NOV/DEC/JAN 2017


5782 Visitors!

Despite difficult conditions however, the show shined by the distinction of its visitors. “Quality over quantity” might sum up this edition, which welcomed top international buyers: Bonton (France), Centre commercial kids (France), David Jones (Australia), Elfant (Russia), Elias & Grace (Great Britain), Emoi emoi (France), Farfetch (Great Britain), Isetan (Japan), J Style Korea (South Korea), Kangaroo (Russia), Galeries Lafayette (France), Harvey Nichols (United States), Le 66 (France), Le Bon Marché (France), Maralex (France), Melijoe (France), MineMine kids (United States), Orange Mayonnaise (Netherlands), Smallable (France), Sarenza (France), Takashimaya (Japan) or The Conran Shop (Great Britain), to name but a few. If French buyers remain somewhat weakened, the show can nevertheless still count on its international appeal: international buyers go up from 49.7% to 56.9% within a year! A great increase led by European buyers (+6.3 points since last summer) and Asia region (+2.5 points on the same period), especially South Korea. Development of buyer loyalty was 52.5% came back this year (+10 points since the last edition) and 45.7% visited for the first time. To pamper this distinguished audience, the show showed its very best face. On top of enhanced services on offer (smartphone app, cellphone charging stations, increased shuttle frequency, and double the number of greeting desks), the company paid special attention to its scenography: larger aisle carpeting and higher-placed signposts which allowed for more breathing space, while the resting areas and restaurant spaces were separated by low partitions, for a more intimate feel. Because this year was also the chance to thank all the professionals who have made the Playtime family over the past 10 years, brands, buyers, and press were invited to celebrate with us on Saturday July 2 during a birthday cocktail that gathered around one thousand people. Playtime remained true to its positioning as the inspiring and inspired trade show by presenting its key silhouettes for Spring-Summer 2017 across four different spaces, all of which are available to revisit on our website. Several original installations by artists Nadya Bertaux, Julie Yülle and collective Groduk & Boucar were on display, around the themes of Cosplay, Refresh et Replay, as defined by our trendsetter Julie Malait, In the maternity showroom, creative trend bureau Carlin shared its Renaissance theme, staged by textile artist Aurélie Andrès. You can have an overvierw of all trends outfits fror SS17 here. On the events side, the show also wanted to make space for its press partners: LITTLE cotton candies and Doolittle x Glaces Glazed for the gourmands, a photo exhibition presented by Papier Mâché, an accessories section by Marie-Claire enfants, and the acclaimed Milk Awards (Fashion : Little Creative Factory / Shoes : Donsje amsterdam / Home decoration : Nofred / Must-have : Leoca Paris).

IOMIO is a creative project for the production of childrenswear in organic cotton and hemp, entirely made in Italy thanks to a top-quality artisan tailoring process. The core of the project is a desire to create something by hand. To work natural fabrics with Italian tailoring skills. To make soft, comfortable, safe, right, locally sourced children’s clothes, that are also beautiful, well-designed and cleverly made up. We want our children and yours to wear soft clothes that are studied right down to the smallest detail, environmentally friendly, non-toxic and packaged by hand in line with a philosophy that is the absolute opposite to series production. 100% organicand tailor made in Italy.

anvin, the long-established French fashion house and Simonetta, the leading Italian company in childrenswear, have signed a strategic licensing agreement for the design, production and distribution of the line for little ones: Lanvin Enfants.

The French fashion house has identified the company based in the Italian Marche region as the ideal partner for this new project, sharing its innovative principles and at the same time the values of tailoring, tradition and quality. The Lanvin Enfants Spring Summer 2017 collection, which is also complete with accessories and footwear, is for boys and girls aged from two to fourteen and babies from three to twenty-four months. The partnership between the two companies will develop over several years for global distribution in the most prestigious and exclusive points of sale of childrenswear: multibrand stores and department stores. The Enfants collection will be distributed from the very first season in the most important Lanvin boutiques, including in Paris, London, Milan, New York and Shanghai. Michèle Huiban, CEO of Lanvin, said : “Jeanne Lanvin initially created out of love for her daughter Marguerite. Amid the excitement of motherhood, she went back to a thread and a needle and soon a wardrobe with unique models began to take shape. She had just invented children’s fashion. Children’s clothing became Lanvin’s first department in 1908. It was obvious to partner with Simonetta and give a fresh impetus to Lanvin children’s collections.” Roberto Stronati, Chairman of Simonetta, said: “We are very honoured about this partnership with maison Lanvin Paris for the launch of Lanvin Enfants. Thanks to this new agreement, Simonetta greatly reinforces its position as a global leader of reference in the childrenswear sector.”

total of almost 180 Fashion and Lifestyle brands were gathered, marking a 20% increase compared to last summer. While some brands are now regulars of the event (akid, bacabuche, caramel, herschel supply co, little miss gallia, misha and puff, mini rodini, noch mini, ragtales, rylee & cru, suoak,…), 43% were presenting their first show, making for a dynamic and comprehensive range.American creation was well represented (43% of exhibitors), while the proportion of foreign brands continues to make Playtime New York the indispensable event for seeing the most exciting international brands. In all, 1978 professional visitors braved the Summer heat: a new record for the New York show, which marks a solid +17.2% increase since the last equivalent edition in August 2015.These exceptional results confirm the show’s upward trajectory, after a first “solo” show in February, which was also a great success. “I think Playtime New York has reached a turning point in establishing itself as a leader for buyers looking for high quality, medium-priced creative brands in the United States”, explains Sebastien de Hutten, the show’s director. This progression has also been felt by brands, who were very positive about their experience taking part. “We had an outstanding first day (+47% compared to the average daily attendance figures of these last editions), which lent a great deal of momentum to the event”, he continues.

1978 Visitors! Between July 31 and August 2, in the heart of Manhattan, Playtime New York welcomed childrenswear professionals to our presentation of Spring-Summer collections for 2017. Held once again in the beautiful Metropolitan Pavilion space, the event also took over part of neighbouring Altman Building (over 10,000 sq ft) in an effort to accommodate the presence of new brands wishing to take part in the event. Playtime staff’s consistent work in terms of customer retention is paying off: the proportion of visitors returning from one season to the next has increased by 7 points compared to last summer. Additionally, although American buyers (81.9%) from the East Coast (78.2%) remain the most typical buyers, it’s worth noting an increased mobility: the West Coast and the middle of the country travel more, and Asia and the Middle East have also been more represented. Aside from these very strong figures, this edition will also remain an incredible source of inspiration for both buyers and the press, who were able to dive into next year’s trends through original spaces highlighting brand new art installations: a “futuro-sportstwear” trend in the Cosplay space, staged by artist Wendy Letven; “tropicool” in the Refresh space, dressed by illustrator Yura Osborn, and some “retro-kitsch” in the Replay space “inhabited” by artist Saki Sato; so many ways in which the season’s trends ignited everyone’s imagination in “Ré-Re-création”, our theme for this summer. www.wendyletven.com / www.yuraosborn.com www.sakisato.com Finally, in an effort to help share this deluge of news, the show offered, in partnership with Earnshaw’s magazine, a morning conference on the new ins-and-outs of social media marketing.

oming from an illustrious family in the fashion industry, in 2010 Laure decided to pursue her dream and follow in the footsteps of her ancestor, Jeanne Lanvin.

“Les Enfantines” was born … As Laure remembered the fabulous treasures she found in her family’s attic, she used the concept of the removable collar and turned them into a contemporary design, bringing it into fashion today and setting new trends. Keeping in mind how much fun fashion should be, she develops her collection so the collars, the pockets … become accessories, making each outfit unique and new everyday. After two successful years, “les Enfantines” can be found in the most prestigious stores in Paris, such as Les Creations Bonnichon and Le Printemps. For optimum control of the finest quality and highest standards, ‘Les Enfantines” now has opened and operates its own Atelier de couture in Paris.

The New Trend in Kids’ Fashion: Ceremony Evening Dress Parents who would like tohave their kids have the glamour of ‘couture’ on their special days made a new market grow with the evening dress in the baby-kids products category in Turkey, which is Europe’s second and the world’s seventh major garment supplier.

T

urkey is the largest manufacturer in the world after Italy in “daily and classic evening dress for kids” and has a market share of about 16.8%. Countries from the Middle East and North Africa such as Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Iran and the Gulf Countries are prominent among those to which companies export evening dress products. That good quality production and stylish design are offered under standard pricing policy, the supply process is fast, the production is delivered in the desired quantity and time, being located in a fast distribution network in the local markets, contact with the dealer is made easily in every period brings advantage to Turkey against its competitors and keeps interest in Turkish products on a high level.Taking place for the 32nd time in CNR Expo Center, Istanbul Exhibition Center on January 11th-14th 2017, “International Istanbul Children Baby Maternity Industry Expo CBME Turkey” is preparing to host over 40 Turkish companies such as; Pamina, Ilgaz Kids, Mialora, Beggi Kids, Nina Matilda, B-95 Group, Micro Bebe, Lindissima, BabooniAltın Çocuk, Milo Tekstil and Porça which are specialized on evening dress that is the rising trend in Turkey as well as worldwide.

NOV/DEC/JAN 2017

Ebru Özcan Şenol, General Manager of Pamina Kids says: “Starting in Turkey, our journey on ready wear soon went beyond the borders of our country. Pamina became an important brand in many countries around the world. Kuwait, Dubai, Palestine, Israel, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Oman, Libya, Algeria, Russia, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are the main countries that we make sale to. As the number of parents who would like to have their kids stylish and glamorous on special days increases, demands for the companies increased as well. Accordingly, the number of evening dress manufacturers has increased recently. Another important factor is the fact that Syrian manufacturers began to make production in Turkey, their customers coming from the Arabic countries and their demand for evening dress”.


Lighter and linen fabrics are dominant in areas with hot climate while Italians prefer slim fit clothing that matches their own style”. Mentioning that evening dress products have also risen in the domestic market in the last decade, Çakıroğlu highlighted that graduation ceremonies, that mothers want to have their kids wear clothing in different concepts on special days such as birthdays, henna and mevlüt (Islamic memorial event) and that they share these activities on the social media influenced the rise of evening dress as a market.

Mentioning that products preferred in the domestic and external markets vary even depending on the country, Özcan said: “For example, some countries demand clothing with more accessory details while some other countries prefer more plain, simple clothing. Demands to color vary from country to country as well, however, the cream color definitely rules in the evening dress for kids. Cream is followed by powder. Sometimes we include dark blue, mint, light pink and yellow tones as well. We can say the rising trend for this year is the harmony of sky blue / gold. Accessories with a natural and soft tone are always welcome in the evening dress for kids. Laces, guipures, open-textured fabrics with a web appearance as well as veils flying around are indispensable for our evening dresses”. Nurgül Çakıroğlu, General Manager of Ilgaz Kids, a CBME Turkey exhibitor manufacturing ceremony evening dress and suit for boys and girls aged between 6 months to 15 years and having an experience of over 40 years in the industry says: “We prepare evening dress and wedding dress for girls and suit collections for boys with our Chaton D’or brand. Our products are greatly appreciated in both domestic and the overseas market. Italy, France, Portugal, UK, Greece, Dubai, other Arabic countries and Turkish Republics are our major buyers abroad. Cultural differences and climate properties have an impact on product preference. For example, British people prefer dark blue and saxe colors while Middle Eastern countries prefer more lively colors.

Mentioning that a hundred percent of their products are exported to overseas countries, Emel Ebru Avcı Özdemir, General Manager of Mialora Couture which is a CBME Turkey exhibitor said: “Overseas buyers want to get their money’s worth. The major reason why they prefer us, is the superiority of our collections in terms of design and our quality in production. We export mostly to the Russian Federation, Middle East, North Africa, European countries and Turkish Republics. Italy, UK and Germany are among our customers in Europe. Our major competitors in this area are Brazil, Spain and Italy”. Addressing the trends in the Ceremony-Evening Dress for Kids, Özdemir said: “Special days are very in all cultures.For instance, the names and dates of national holidays vary, but the desire of mothers to have their kids get dressed in a stylish and special concept is very similar. The culture regarding special days in our country has recently been developing with more variety as well. For example, the baby shower events that are common abroad are now held in our country too. Birthdays, national holidays, weddings, school parties... there are special concepts and products for them all. I should also remind that postings of mothers on the social media influence the development of this culture”.

Long Live Childhood! A STORY BEHIND THE GREAT BRITISH BABY COMPANY

R

acheal’s journey towards founding The Great British Baby Company began unexpectedly one day in 2014. She was passing through a department store in central London when she noticed a beautiful girl’s winter coat. She was taken by the colour and the cut of the coat and, convinced that it was perfect for her then one year old daughter. The coat appeared every bit as appealing up close as it did from a distance but, upon turning over the tag, she was surprised to find that she would have to part with a four figure sum to take it home. A shop assistant noticed her admiring the coat and came over to help her. After a string of questions, Racheal discovered that the coat was made largely from synthetic materials, that it was entirely machine manufactured, that it was not made in Britain or anywhere else in Europe, and that it was not a limited edition or special release. Racheal was not given a single reason why the coat warranted its price tag. And this got her thinking. Could she create children’s clothing that has a value beyond simply ‘looking nice’, that is made of noble materials, and that is impeccably hand crafted? Could she create children’s clothing that is home grown, using generations’ old expertise, and that would mean something beyond cloth and thread to people? Not one to shy away from a challenge, she started researching and, albeit with setbacks and disappointments along the way, she found a set of skilled British craftsmen and craftswomen who could achieve this standard of luxury. Alongside designing clothing for babies and children, Racheal trained for eight years as a historian of modern British society and culture. Whilst admittedly an eccentric combination, her enthusiasm for classic British style and her awareness of Britain’s textile production heritage have helped greatly in both establishing the core values of The Great British Baby Company and making the creation of true British luxury a viable proposition. Moreover, as the descendent of English drapers and tailors on one side of her family and Welsh woollen mill owners on the other, She has always felt an affinity with traditional British clothing production as well as a desire to draw links between past and present, and build on a family legacy.

132

NOV/DEC/JAN 2017

She is inspired by what she has seen not only in history books and family photo albums but also in real life. Her upbringing in rural Sussex, her childhood holidays in Wales and Scotland, her student days in London and Oxford, as well as her experience as a mother, influence her designs. They help Racheal create the modern interpretations of traditionalBritish styles, the elegant and sometimes vaguely eccentric cuts, that are the signature of The Great British Baby Company. Her love of both the past and the vibrancy of youth are ultimately what lie behind The Great British Baby Company. She founded the brand with two main objectives: firstly, to ensure that fine British craftsmanship is more than simply ‘history’ to the next generation, and, secondly, to celebrate childhood as a special and precious time that should be lived to the full. This passion to perpetuate British heritage for the benefit of British children and of childhood is sewn into each and every one of The Great British Baby Company’s pieces. It is what Racheal believes, gives her clothing a significance and a value that in today’s world is truly rare. Images courtesy of greatbritishbabycompany.com

CHARITY

N

ewborns In Need was created on July 7, 1992, by Carol Green. Carol first discovered the need when she attended a quilting club meeting in the early summer of 1992. She read in an Arizona-based sewing magazine that some needy newborns that died would be buried in paper sacks or discarded with medical waste, simply because no one had the money or resources to provide burial clothing. The others at the quilting club meeting thought that the article was inaccurate, but she was dismayed at the thought and had to know the truth. She contacted the woman who made the statement and she confirmed the shocking truth. She then called hospitals in her area, and discovered that they also faced the same problem — no burial clothing for needy children. Carol enlisted her friends, and soon they were turning out burial wear so no baby would be treated without dignity. Her husband then pointed out that there were living, needy children that also needed clothes. Soon Carol and her friends were producing those clothes too – baby gowns, hats, blankets, sleepers, isolette covers and other baby essentials. From one woman’s outrage at the treatment of a deceased baby, and the encouragement and support of her husband, Richard, Newborns In Need was launched.

f o h t r i B e Th IN NEED Carol would smile when she would give credit to Richard for coming up with the organization’s name. In 2007, Carol and Richard decided to retire from Newborns In Need and contacted a volunteer who had the same passion for babies. Connie Edwards was that volunteer. Connie started the first North Carolina Chapter but in 2001, due to the requirements of a full-time job and family, Connie turned her chapter over to someone she could trust to continue her heart’s work. Never imagining that the organization she loved would be under her fulltime care, she received a phone call many years later from Richard Green. After a lot of prayers and tears of uncertainty, and finally with a fierce sense of determination, Connie accepted the challenge of taking Carol and Richard’s love for babies into the future.

On September 9, 2007, Newborns In Need was firmly established in Pfafftown, North Carolina. Under Connie’s direction, it has grown to over 55 chapters across the United States. And it’s still growing! NIN has expanded its role in the communities that it serves. Not only does NIN provide burial clothes for those precious babies that need them, NIN also provides other bereavement and memorial items to give comfort to those grieving families. NIN works with NICU’s and nurseries (and other organizations) across the country to see how it can help accommodate some of the special needs that they may have in caring for the little ones they see.

In 1992, Carol & Richard Green founded Newborns In Need in Houston, Missouri. 148

NOV/DEC/JAN 2017


In the United States approximately 2,000 babies are born into poverty each day.Over 540,000 babies are born prematurely each year and for every 1,000 babies born, 6 babies lose their fight for life. Poverty or illness touches the tiniest babies and families become overwhelmed. Imagine that in the midst of the fear, the sadness and a sense of “what do I do”, a nurse, a doctor, a social worker, or a friend touches your shoulder and hands you a basket full of blankets, diapers, and baby clothes. We pray that no mother has to hold a dying or stillborn baby in her arms, but it happens in hospitals across the USA. Families struggle as they want to memorialize theirchild, but are not prepared for the moment they never anticipated. Newborns in Need provides a grieving family burial and bereavement clothing and keepsake items for the babies that lose their fight for life.

S N R O B f NEW

The last memory the family will have is of the baby dressed in a beautiful burial layette. The “911” for babies, Newborns In Need is the organization mobil ized across the United States to offer baby items to those families who need help. Raising awareness, opening new chapters, Newborns In Need believes that communities can and will help each other if given the vehicle to do so. Whether crafted with love by the hands of a volunteer or donated by others who understand we need to take care of each other, Newborns In Need has positioned itself as the first response for the baby in crisis.

Playtime’s Summer in Tokyo ends on a high note! he 15th edition of Playtime Tokyo, the third and last chapter of the season, took place from August 23 to 25, 2016. The Japanese trade show was held at its familiar Shibuya address (Belle Shibuya Garden) to play host to professionals from childrenswear and maternity.

A total of 240 Japanese and international brands (60% and 40%, respectively) were represented to exhibit their collections for Spring-Summer 2017. Playtime’s carefully selected range has never ceased to improve, bringing us this year close to 45% first-time exhibitors.in line with its trademark concept, the show presented all the universes of children and maternity over two areas. And although Fashion (ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories) is by far the biggest part of this, Lifestyle saw growth especially through the space “Playtime meets Kodomono”, which was dedicated to contemporary design monoproducts or mini-collections for children. This subtle balance between well-established brands (arch & line, bobo choses, bonheur du jour, easy peasy, ilovej, louise misha, numero74, nunuforme, oeuf, oilily, tinycottons, valmax,…) and new designers (8sea, carlota barnabe, diapers & milk, pierrot, the small gatsby,…) from Japan and from around the world is what enthralled a total of 3136 professional visitors.

PLAYTIME TOKYO AUGUST 23 - 25, 2016

A record number for the show which means it has seen, for the second time in a row, two increases: +18% compared to its last equivalent edition of summer 2015, and +5% compared to winter 2016.“Since its creation and despite the economic downturn of the Japanese market these last few years, the show’s attendance figures have never ceased to grow. The show has established itself as indispensable for all creative brands who wish to develop in Japan and Asia”, explains Kay Sakaguchi, the director of the show. A show which buyers and press, always on the lookout for trends and exclusivity, would miss for nothing in the world! While the editorial staff of Milk Japon crowned their selection of best collections in 3 categories (Little creative factory, Fashion Award / Duduk, Lifestyle Award / Motoreta, “Coup de coeur” Award), the show’s three trend spaces projected key silhouettes for Spring-Summer 2017. Visitors were thus able to discover futuristic trends highlighting technical fabrics and sportswear cuts in the ‘Cosplay’ space, deliciously regressive styles in the ‘Replay’ space, and even tropical explorer looks in the ‘Refresh’ space. All-in-all, a good dose of inspiration reinforced by artistic installations by Yusuke Sugisawa, Mayumi Tsuzuki and Barbara Cadet, respectively associated with each of these forums. www.yusuke-sugisawa.com / www.mayumi-tsuzuki.com / www.barbaracadet.fr And while grown-ups delighted in this avalanche of innovation, the youngest were able to enjoy a special ‘green thumb’ workshop organized by Abi Loves, in collaboration with artist Nozomi Yuasa. www.abiloves.com / www.nozomiyuasa.tumblr.com

LOOK STORY

The Little Wardrobe London AW16 collection takes on a dramatic theme. With strong influences from Dickens, most notable in pieces such as the Black Frock Coat, a modern take on a tailored Victorian coat, typical of the Dickens era. The Little Nell Dress is directly inspired by Nell Trent, the angelic heroine in Dickens, The Old Curiosity Shop. The Herringbone tapered trousers combine fine tailoring,luxury fabrics and the class of the era. The collection combines both the opulence and earnest characteristics of Dickens’ London, all brought up to date with a contemporary twist.

Last season’s fairytale tulle skirt was such a success, that this season we see the sister version, in maxi form. Little Wardrobe London’s AW 2016 collection once again showcases more enchanting sequins, this time in muted hues. The popular showstopper dress has now expanded to four beautiful colours, each one as head-turning as the other.

entioning that “the fact that over 40 evening dress companies take part in CBME Turkey which will be organized in CNRExpo Center, Istanbul Expo Center gives us more hope regarding the future of Turkey in the world markets on baby-kids textile”, Erdal Baykara, General Manager of UBM ICC says: “We will witness colorful shows in CBME Turkey where particularly the “baby and kids evening dress” companies will exhibit the most recent colors and creations of the new season and their good quality designs suitable for classic and daily usage. However, surely our exhibitor profile is not limited to evening dresses. Everything regarding tool groups such as baby and kids ready wear, accessories, furniture, home textile and baby carriage, stroller and feeding bottle will be displayed in our exhibition. We aimed for attendance from 16,000 national and international visitors from 100 countries with over 350 companies and 750 brands to CBME Turkey in 2017. Our purpose, as always, is to open the gates of new markets and collaborations to the industry, which needs them. Our exhibition

for the exhibitors and visitors to reach many potential customers in Eurasia, Middle East and North Africa”. Turkey has the youngest population in Europe and on average 1 million 250 thousand babies are born every year. The fact that the number of babies and infants aged 0 to 3 is 4.7 million and the number of kids aged between 0 and 5 is 7 million makes Turkey the focus of attention for national and international companies seeking new markets. It is estimated that the baby and children products market will have a combined growth rate (CAGR) of about 12% per year between 2012 and 2017 in Turkey, which ranks the second worldwide with its population increase rate. Families in Turkey spend 60$ a month for their babies aged up to 2 years and on average 700-800$ per year. This spending is gradually increasing as economic welfare and the awareness level of parents increase. Nevertheless, consumption per baby in Turkey is still below the world average. Baby and children industry is increasing its share in the Turkish economy every day. Although there are no official data or reports covering the entire market, the size of the market shared to babies and kids is estimated to exceed 6 billion TURKISH LIRA today.

! l o o h c s r o f p It’s time to sho By Nadia Ghazali

Attention parents! I repeat, attention!

I

t is time to get your kids ready for the next school year. Love it or hate it, getting your kids’ wardrobes ready is a serious matter. Any experienced parent will tell you that back-to-school (BTS) shopping means shelling hundreds of dollars and school supplies. According to the National Retail Federation, BTS spending has grown 55% over the past 10 years. Although it is easy to attribute this growth to inflation, one of the most significant additions to back-to-school spending is actually technology namely digital teaching and learning tools such as tablets, smartboards and eReaders. Even though a piece of technology

so much?

is expensive, the biggest portion of your BTS budget pie is actually clothing and footwear. This comes to no surprise considering there are now more high-end fashion houses that are making clothes and shoes for children compared to 10 years ago. Designers are also working with major fashion retailers like Target and Uniqlo to make their clothing more affordable and attainable. Like many other parents, you probably look forward to the day when your kids exclaim that they are able to dress themselves up every morning without mum’s or dad’s help. It does not matter that their socks do not match each other or that they


are wearing their t-shirts the other way round. All that matters are that your children are now confident enough to do things and make decisions for themselves. These exciting milestones indicate that your kids are growing well and are starting to develop a sense of who they are. You may not realise this but your kids may already have started curating different styles that they like and inspire them. This is especially true for this generation of kids that are more exposed to the media, technology and their peers. More and more mini fashion influencers are getting public exposure and it would be a surprise if your kids are not taking fashion cues from the likes of Prince George, Alonso Mateo, Suri Cruise and Ella May.

Back-to-school shopp

ing tips

3. Do some research before you go out especially if your kids are sensitive to scratchy tags or certain materials. 4. Trends are fun but make sure that they are safe for you kids. Make sure that your kids will not trip over access fabric or slip over on slippery soles. 5. Be reasonable with your children. Let your kids choose the clothes and look at which ones meet your requirements (budget, comfort, care and safety). If they are not appropriate, explain to your kids why they are not suitable.

Back-to-school shopping means different things to different families; it can either be a fun day out with your kids or a chaotic mess only the devil himself is able to conjure.

Good luck & Enjoy Shopping For your little ones! You may think that your kids are too young for designers items but it is important to encourage your children to continue finding themselves. This would teach them their likes and dislikes; at the same time, you can take this opportunity to teach them about decision making and money. Therefore, actively include your kids in your family’s back-to-school shopping is recommended.

Here are some things that you need to know and do to ensure that your back-to-school shopping trip is a success: 1. Look in your kids’ closets and identify which items that still fit them---this will help you make a list of new clothes and footwear to buy. 2. Check with your kids’ school(s) administration if there is a dress code or policy in place.
