Children's wear seems to be the in thing, with Gucci recently announcing the launch of its first full-scale children's collection. The line is divided into two age ranges (zero to two years old and two to eight years old) and will include apparel, shoes, small leather goods, footwear and accessories. It launches in stores next March.
High-society mums are also getting excited about the upcoming opening of Mama Kid, a concept store for children launched by fashionista and actress, Valerie Chow Kar-ling. Dubbed as the 'Joyce boutique for kids,' the shop will stock edgy labels for children - think Comme des Garcons and Maison Martin Margiela but for tots. The shop is due to open in September.
