There was a great deal of sophistication and refinement in the baby and childrens collections and catwalk pretions of CPM Kids in Moscow, and CIFF Kids in Copenhagen for the Spring / Summer season 2011. The world of children no longer imitates that of adults, but has a new and playful innocence, regaining an irony that has always distinguished it and the research seems to be heading, in short, towards a cleaner, more basic, child-friendly style. The proposals meet the various needs, functions and occasions of use, from casual to chic, from sporty to party wear, all thanks to the range and versatility of the colour themes, making them easy to co-ordinate. For little girls there are the floral prints, mini roses and violets, while the Empire-style dresses are covered by a myriad of little hearts and bows. For the most trendy and fashionable kids there is the unmissable trench-coat in a mini version with nuances in beige and pink. Very comfortable and easy to wear during their daily routine is the wind and rain-proof jacket, that comes strictly in white only, as proposed by Ticket to Heaven. There is also a floral mood for the t-shirts that are light and romantic and dedicated to the hottest days and can be combined with soft-cut shorts. The main protagonist for a young women, however, is the dress overlapping voile and poplin create a play of transparent gradients that are combined with a Liberty pattern that creates a nice contrast. Clean lines return to the party dress with precious materials like tulle and silk acquiring a new importance from the refined decoration and very chic styling. For the boys' wardrobe, the polo shirt with its careful detail and finishing, is essential, the striped sailor-style t-shirt such as the one by Timberland or custom ones with retro-style prints by Fabric Flavours, the checked shirt and shiny nylon bomber jacket in bright colours. I Gianburrasca presents the classic combination of white and navy blue that comes in squares in cotton madras. An explosion of stripes, both narrow and wide, in blue, green and fuchsia for jerseys and knitwear in many variations. Practical and comfortable, you cannot miss jeans, that for Spring / Summer 2011 are strictly short above the knee and light-rinsed, a bleached blue-jeans. Bermuda shorts and a balloon skirt for her to participate in a mini event in the late afternoon, and for him, an elegant jacket proposed by Boss. Even in childrens wear, accessories have become a must: sneakers, espadrilles, clogs, sandals, tasteful ballerinas, patterned and coloured socks, while not forgetting glasses, hats and even straw hats and scarves. images: more than 600 pages: 144 format: cm. 24,5 x 33
