Hello, tutus, military jackets and funky high-top sneakers... for babies, toddlers and kids! Stella McCartney for GapKids has finally arrived, and fashion-y moms everywhere are stoked. "For years now I've wanted to create a collection for kids. It's really exciting for us to do a boys and girls collection with Gap for the first time. I think it has a mix of the playful and practical. I tried to create a whole kids wardrobe," says Stella McCartney. "There are pieces that are classic and sort of timeless and hopefully very chic, mixed with more playful and a little bit cooler pieces. It's a reflection of our brand and a great way to experience it."The only snag, say some moms, is that the collection is a little steep compared to the other choices out there, like The Children's Place and Kohl's. "My son, who's four, is growing by the minute," says stylish mom, Iris Asuncion. "If I buy him an $80 sweater now, we'll only get a handful of months out of it--if we're lucky--and that's too much to spend on a seasonal item." It's not the wisest choice for many parents with growing toddlers--even for the fashion-forward ones who like to style their kids super-hip.
Regardless, many moms are loving the new children's clothes. Some are gaga over key pieces, like leopard print knits ($98) and velvet tuxedo jackets for girls ($78), and monster and superhero tees ($28) and signature corduroy pants ($58). And rumor has it that T-shirts in XLs and XXLs at various stores are out of stock with adults buying children's tops for themselves, according to Gap shoppers who went to the store yesterday to do the same!
What do you think of the collection? Love it or hate it?
