Stella McCartney x Gap Kids Collection

Posted on 29. Oct, 2009 by bespokeordie in Miscellaneous

I absolutely had to post this one. Stella McCartney is yet again expanding her brand’s reach and her latest target audience is the grade-school set. McCartney’s first full children’s wear collection, done in collaboration with Gap Kids and Baby Gap, will be launched shortly on November 2nd at select Gap stores in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France and Japan. The 70-piece line takes inspiration from both the design signature McCartney has developed in her own collections and her practical experience as a mother of three. Some of the pieces are “Mini-Me” versions of designs from McCartney’s ready-to-wear collections. There’s a gray sweater dress knit with a leopard design, which appeared full-size in the designer’s fall 2009 collection, along with skinny gray jeans with ankle zippers and a snug gray cable-knit cardigan dress. The images, shot by Ryan McGinley, feature 20 children ranging in age from one to eight years-old, who share the spotlight with fluffy baby chicks, iguanas, rabbits, a miniature donkey and even a fox. (That little fox and Stella McCartney have a history, see here.) I don’t have a son, but you better believe that if I did he would absolutely, positively be rocking that band leader jacket. Wow!
