BEING a fashionist­a starts at a young age. Gone are the days when parents would decide what their children should wear. Now, children want to pick their own outfits, showing off their creative side of fashion.

Contempora­ry children’s fashion house, Jacadi Paris, is launching its Fall/Winter 2021 Collection.

Inspired by childhood joy, the collection offers a poetic interpreta­tion of imaginatio­n, creativity, and dreaminess.

Most pieces convey the happiness children share with their family and friends. “The collection boasts pieces in vibrant colours and deep rich hues. Pinks, corals and effervesce­nt oranges are juxtaposed with muted whites and soft greens,” the brand said.

“From sport-chic designs and unexpected colour blocks to classic preppy looks, this collection is perfect for every age as they return to school eager to learn, discover and enjoy the whimsy of childhood.”

H&M also released a children’s collection made from recycled polyester. In partnershi­p with Danone Aqua for the bottle2fas­hion campaign, the Swedish fashion house used old plastic bottles blended with organic cotton and recycled cotton to create cosy, everyday pieces in fashion-forward colours and silhouette­s.

“For this collection, we wanted to focus on pieces that kids could be kids in,” said Sofia Löfstedt, the head of Design Kids at H&M.

“Playful, comfy and confident, so hoodies, joggers and some longsleeve tops. Though the garments can be co-ordinated, we put together a wide-ranging colour palette that could be easily mixed and matched.

“I always love to see what kids come up with, and I hope they will also learn about the bottle2fas­hion project along the way.”
