I like watching fashion shows but seeing dozens of cute kids walk the ramp was a rare treat! I was invited to view the latest products of SM Kids' Fashion during Philippine Fashion Week and had an enjoyable time taking photos of the beautiful kids who graced the runway.
First several pretty moms showed off their equally good-looking babies wearing Trajecitos de Bebe which speaks of utmost elegance and grace befitting solemn occasions. The Holiday Collection features hand-embroidered Christening garments made of lace, tulle, or satin that are perfect as formal baptismal attires that can be passed on from one generation to the next.
Another set of moms and their babies modeled Crib Couture that features baby clothes with ruffles and unexpected prints adorned with headbands and mini-bandanas for girls and nice, gentlemanly clothes for boys.
Next came groovy young men in BGS (Boys Got Style) outfits that stand out because of their vivid colors. The clothes aptly drew attention to the boys' handsome features. This dynamic fashion brand for kids are for those who are not afraid to have fun with fashion and is all about experimenting with the different looks that can be achieved with eye-catching pieces.
The models for Little Miss impressed me the most. They exuded a lot of confidence and strutted their stuff with cheerful smiles and bouncy walks. They were delightful to watch. The brand features a clever combination of feminine silhouettes and playful textures offering trendy and colorful outfits that never go out of style. Polka dots take center stage in its Holiday Collection along with ruffles, vibrant hues, and unique drop-waist skirts. Suited for the lass stylish beyond her years, Little Miss makes every girl a fashion icon in her own right.
Now, the toddlers that modeled Bradley clothes were adorable! The shy smiles they flashed at the audience made them doubly charming. They looked like tiny gentlemen impeccably dressed in comfy outfits. The preppy look has always been in style - it's all about timeless patterns and cuts that bring out a boy's inner charm. Bradley offers classic shirts, vests, cardigans, and patterned shorts that are ideal for kids who like looking neat and well-groomed. For active boys, there are also sportier pieces like hoodies and varsity jackets.
Girls Edition featured pairs of cute little women garbed in playful basics that come in a range of colorful tops and bottoms suitable for active girls. The Holiday Collection features mid-pastels, embellished prints, and tulle appliques to allow young girls to mix and match pieces for a fashionable ensemble.
A beloved brand known all over the world is Hello Kitty which made a statement with a collection of playful yet feminine silhouettes made of ruffles, polka dots, and fun prints. The color palette used mixed bright pastels and monochromatic tones of gold and silver.
Dude's trendy apparel, on the other hand, uses dynamic prints and fluid patterns that create an edgy, yet undeniably youthful vibe for pre-teens and tweens. Young men can express themselves in multiple layers by wearing richly-textured button-down shirts over rocking graphic tees. Dude also has biker jackets and rugged blazers to keep outfits warm and stylish.
Blush exudes a glam girl vibe in the rich array of shimmering hues, sequins, and bold prints worn by the (in my opinion) far-too-serious-looking models. Trendy tweens can create glitzy ensembles made up of metallic leggings and sequined dresses to showcase their unique personalities, develop their own sense of style, and express their inner glam diva.
The dapper boys that walked the ramp to model Modern Prince outfits looked really sophisticated. The collection brings the Upper East Side aesthetic to young men's wardrobes. Choose from button-down shirts in a variety of bold colors and blazers in both classic and extra-fun prints.
Likewise, Modern Princess adds an edgy twist to traditional party dresses which make girls stand out in any occasion. The Holiday Collection is composed of dreamy, fairy-like dresses, opulent rosettes, unique drop-waist skirts, and plush caplets with bows that will turn young girls into stylish trendsetters fit for royalty.
I applaud all the kids (and their parents whom I'm sure were nervously but proudly watching in the sidelines) who bravely traversed the runway that day. Perhaps we'll see more of them in succeeding Philippine Fashion Weeks in the coming years :)
