The Fashion Factory hosted its annual show on Sunday, starring the industry’s youngest design stars. The public event, which was attended by leading fashion names including Suzy Menkes and Celia Birtwell, saw 32 girls aged between 8 to 15 take to the catwalk to showcase creations that they had created over the past six months - all using second-hand fabrics and clothes. Highlights included drop-waisted dresses with pocket detailing and vibrant prints; full-skirted dresses with Peter Pan collars; and bright, tie-dye playsuits.
The project was first launched in 2009 by former designer Amanda Riley, who made her first dress using her grandmother’s sewing machine when she was just eight years old, and aims to teach young girls how to make their own interpretations of catwalk looks using recycled clothes. The girls are given lessons on pattern-cutting, sewing machine techniques and surface patterns and then given the opportunity to showcase their creations on the catwalk at the end of the course.

Meanwhile, in kidswear…ROKSANDA ILINCIC’s childrenswear line, Blossom, arrived in stores early July - and is of course being modelled by her one-year-old daughter, Efimia.
“For me, it is crucial that she and others try it on during the sampling stage. [Children] are the best critics - if they love something and don’t want to take it off then it’s a good sign. As always, I loved seeing the clothes come to life. The lookbook shoot was definitely a highlight - rather more chaotic than a usual one!” says Ilincic.
Targeted at children between ages 0-8 and available from Liberty and ALEXANDALEXA.COM, the line was inspired by both Ilincic’s daughter and the ever-increasing growth of her label. Her debut childrenswear offering is a continuation of her pre-autumn/winter 2012-13 collection, which used bright Lego blocks as a starting point.

If traditional furniture isn’t your thing, jazz up your kids’ room by maximizing the modern look. Add a velvet storage bench for a splash of color, or a zigzag patterned headboard as an eye-popping accent piece. Not only will the room by playful and fun, but it’ll also prevent kids from outgrowing their rooms so quickly!
