Dolce & Gabbana's New Kids Collection!

Lanvin did it last year, Oscar de la Renta lunched his line in the spring, so it only seemd natural for the Italian design duo royals to join high fashions newest (and future!) target. The Kiddys!!!

Dolce & Gabbana will launch its first ever children's wear collection this July, which is aimed at newborns to 10 year olds.  The range is expected to be every bit as stylish as its mainline.

“We interviewed all the mothers because the collection must be practical. We learned a lot, plenty of details. For example, it’s better to have sleeveless onesies and freedom of movement — kids don’t want to feel too constricted”- Dominico Dolce

The collection will include daywear, innerwear, beachwear, accessories and footwear. Highlights comprise a lilac, sequined party dress, a mini tuxedo suit teamed with spotted bow ties, tweed bouclé jackets, as well as Baroque-inspired designs seen on dresses covered with cherubs and floral patterns and crepe de chine blouses adorned with white lace. As luxurious as the collection is, both Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana maintain that practicality was a key focus.

What can you expect? “A miniature version of our signature line”- Stefano Gabbana 

Both Stefano and Domenico interviewed moms to ensure their tiny duds would be practical, as well as stylish. There are cashmere capes for little girls and velvet suits for little boys and it all sounds quite fabulous!!

First Look: Jennifer Lopez’s Tour Wardrobe from Zuhair Murad

             

Back in May at a press conference to announce the Dance Again World tour, the singer revealed her plans to work with the designer and hinted then about some of the looks. "Zuhair Murad is going to do all my costumes," she said. "There is a cape planned for the show. It's not a Wonder Woman cape. You'll have to come to the show to see it."


The Beirut-based designer stopped in Los Angeles last month to fit Jennifer Lopez with six looks for her summer tour, which kicks off June 15 in South America and comes to the U.S. on July 14.


From the newly released sketches, one of Lopez's looks will be a scarlet red beaded dress with nude silk tulle and an elaborate long matching robe that drapes over her shoulders and ties in a bow at the front. The wardrobe tour includes a feathered skirt and hat, a jumpsuit, a cape, a bodysuit and several short dresses.  The sketches also show Lopez clutching a red microphone.  I can't wait to see the final results on stage!


This July, the Lebanese designer will show off his couture collection in Paris, where he’ll also be launching an accessories collection.
