What a cute and cool collection this adidas Originals by Mini Rodini Fall/Winter 2017 is!  This is adidas’ second instalment of its collaboration with Swedish childrenswear label Mini Rodini continuing the collection’s blending of classic adidas designs with the quirky visual aesthetic of Cassandra Rodini.

This range expands beyond basic apparel into seasonal outerwear and accessories. The Superstar tracksuit features black and white colorways with a vibrant illustrated print, complemented by simple graphic t-shirts. An insulated vest applies Mini Rodini’s playful illustrations through a large back print with simple trefoil branding on the chest. Throw in a cute beanie and the look is complete!  As always, pieces have been constructed with the utmost commitment to ethical, sustainable production methods, using recycled and organic fibers.

For footwear, adidas Originals x Mini Rodini introduces a bright and bold take on the EQT Support ADV silhouette, countering a simple white base with blue, teal, yellow and orange accents, transforming the aggressive modern EQT design into a perfect shoe for trendsetters of all ages. As a whole, the collection is a lighthearted blend of 3-stripes classics and Mini Rodini aesthetic, full of texture, color and seasonal style.

You can find this collection on the adidas site!

I just came across this adorable home grown New Zealand brand, Frida and Fauna, which is the brainchild of New Zealand Fashion Designer/Artist, Sophia Gardiner.

Frida and Fauna produces artistic one-off, hand made designer garments and accessories for children and babies. The unique thing about this label is that everything is by commission and each garment is designed and made by Sophia herself.

Frida and Fauna began in 2012 as a sewing project to dress Sophia’s young daughter Frida in a style loved by Sophia and her husband, Artist Mikaere Gardiner. Since then, the label has grown into what it is today – an artistic and original label with loads of charm and creativity.

Take a look at all the gorgeous pieces on the Flora and Fauna website, and if you would like to commission a piece you can contact them here.

The Stella McCartney Kids Fall Winter 2017 covers babies in ever so cute penguin costumes to cooler-than-cool tweens.

This collection has the customary Stella McCartney animals in the mix and is a real “Swan Song” with swans featured in all sorts of prints, motifs, colors and situations! The collection features splashes of red, which is big for this coming season, mountains and American League Football helmets.

Animal prints feature heavily  and the whole range has a cool 70’s vibe.

And of course, the Stella McCartney label is still committed to being a responsible, sustainable brand. Throughout the new collection for kids and adults they use innovative and recycled materials such as organic cotton, sustainably-sourced viscose, recycled nylon and cruelty-free Skin-Free-Skin.

In fact, the Winter 2017 campaign focuses on waste. It is expected that plastic production will triple by 2050 when the population explodes to almost 10 billion, so the company is using the range as a vehicle to raise awareness of the issues of waste and overconsumption.

The styles for the women’s range are fairly futuristic as you can see by the designs below. The video is also pretty interesting. You can view it here.
