Searching for the ultimate boy’s holiday looks for 2013? Here are 10 of my favorite looks by leading kids fashion designers from around the globe.
1) Stella McCartney Kids – Green and Grey Marl Santa Tee
I absolutely love Stella McCartney and was so excited when she launched Stella McCartney Kids in 2010. This creative and organic tee with an owl disguised as Santa features yuletide inspired holly-green sleeves and a contrast rib neckline. (exclusive to online store alex&alexa.com)
2) Kenzo Tiger Sweater
Kenzo is on the prowl for Fall Winter 2013 with it’s Tiger Collection. Inspired by the adult runway collection, Kenzo boys will get a giant roar in this chic yet comfy Tiger Sweater.
3) Suzanne Ermann Ken Suit
French wedding and evening dress designer Suzanne Ermann launched her revolutionary Children’s line in 2010. A wonderful piece in her Barbie and Me Capsule Collection for Winter 2013 is this black Ken Suit (yes as in Barbie). Crafted in Paris the Ken Suit blends traditional elegance with contemporary detailing including white contrast stitching.
4) Paul Smith Junior Globe Print Shirt
You won’t believe how detailed the globe print is on this shirt! This uber-cool dark colored shirt includes old style world globes on the front and back. It definitely shares the same DNA of the adult Paul Smith collection.
5) La Miniatura Red Plaid Blazer and Vest
Rocker and Fashion Runway winner Jeffrey Sebelia launched his kids label La Miniatura in March 2011. This boys navy and red plaid blazer is a statement piece with a smart and preppy look. Made with a soft and tactile finish, this single button jacket has two front pockets, fully functional cuffs and a purple stripe lining.
6) Young Versace VUNK Sweatshirt
Part of Versace’s colorful and eclectic VUNK collection for Women and Men, the multi-colored fleece sweatshirt gives a true Punk & Rock ‘n Roll Look for Winter 2013. I love punk-inspired wild mix of color patterns featuring the Versace Medusas that have a graffiti look to them. There are also matching fleece sweatpants to complete the VUNK look.
7) John Galliano Kids Sheepskin Coat
As part of the detective and super-hero themed kids collection, fashion icon John Galliano has designed a gorgeous sheepskin jacket in deep blue and grey colors featuring genuine leather trimming and an authentic fur collar. The jacket is an online exclusive at Melijoe.com.
