Kids spring/summer fashion

Children’s fashion used to be girlish or boyish, so straightforwardly pink or blue. Now styles and trends are adopted from adults’ fashion runways and interpreted into kidswear that looks as chic and sharp as adults’.

From the European kids’ fashions shows for this summer we are seeing designers such as Moschino, Kenzo and Ralph Lauren offering their styles in miniature versions. So what are the kids’ designer clothing trends for the spring/summer ‘08 season?

Designer girls’ fashion

Like women’s fashion, glamour and refinement is showing in girls’ wear. Styles are simple but have beautiful fabrics and new high-tech materials. White is strong and there’s a hint of silver and gold in accents. Girls’ fashion is still playful with delightful prints, stripes and polka dots of strong colours such as fuschia or black. You will be seeing puffed sleeves and there’s an emphasis on skirts or shorts. Striped fabrics in vibrant colours are showing and there are glittery details with appliqués and crystal embellishments.

Designer boys’ fashion

Spring/summer ‘08 fashion for boys is full of energy and spirit. Colours are in light blue, cream, olive, and neutrals. The slim fit is in and fabrics are ultra-lightweight and easy to wear, giving boys the freedom of movement they love. The military theme is still showing in many ranges. Embellishment of boys wear is in lots of pockets which transform their outfits to cool. Moschino is using a lot of silver in their boys’ fashion range this season. Polo shirts will be popular and will be available in a range of colours with a lot of detailing on both front and back.

This is a very, smart, happening season for the boys, their fashion is finally going hip and catching up with the girls.
