To meet people from the industry, discover new trends and brands and most of all to mingle with the industry. We like to share our finds and must haves!
Yesterday I shared some impressions from the famous fashion shows from Pitti Bimbo. Today I will share some of my highlights and favourites.
It is always my first show of the season and that means that all my favourite kids fashion people are coming together and there is a lot of catching up to do. Then all the events and shows… it is usually two really busy days for me. Packed with lots of information, news and inspiration…
Above: Kiboro was at The Nest again and showed their new collection of the cutest kimono onesies.
The Nest, curated by Little Pop Up, showed an exclusive selection of small independent brands.

My recap from CIFF Kids in August is a little late but… I managed, just about, to publish it in the same month. Before the show I shared a few posts about newcomers or lifestyle brands that I absolutely wanted to see and they all did not disappoint.
The show was fresh, lots of pastels, a wonderful lifestyle section, fashion shows under the sun and many lovely people to catch up with.
