The Rise Of The Mini Me


I wear designer clothes. But I find the fact that so many high end designers doing children's collection kind of tasteless. Not so much for the cost, but for the fact that they are just slapping their names on t shirts and jeans. I would not spend $150 on plain kid's jeans or a tee. Dolce and Gabbana, one of my favorite labels, seems to be guilty of the logo mania. I think that Chloe and Phillip Lim are getting it right, designing exquisite little dresses and jackets. I would have no problem spending three or four hundred dollars on a very pretty piece from their collections. The LA Times has an interesting article blaming the whole trend on Hollywood. But isn't Hollywood to blame for all of America's ills.
What do I dress my boys in? Very traditional Polo, J.Crew, and Target. I don't want them to look back in twenty years and cringe. Children's clothes should be comfortable, not tiny versions of adult clothes.
