Gucci Cuties. New Children's Collections For Boys & Girls from Gucci.

Luxury Italian status brand Gucci has launched an Autumn Winter 2011-2012 collection of clothes for children ages 2 to 8.




Inspired by the English countryside, the children's collection of clothes, accessories, and shoes, which debuted for the first time last Spring, now have a much wider selection. From formal wear to casual wear to sportswear, there are more colors, materials and styles for little boys and girls.




A British country mood is evident in riding boots, jackets and duffel-coats. The macks and many warm bright little coats are all classics, as in the cashmere model for girls with iconic horsebit detailing.




Knitwear alternates between a sportier casual style and classic chic British mood and little gentleman looks. Rounding out the range of clothes and shoes this season is a wide selection of accessories: trolley bags, school packs, handbags and head bands for girls; hats, gloves and scarves in wool or cashmere, plus ties, for boys.





The children’s collection also includes dressy outfits. Namely, tuxedos with bow-tie, cummerbund and black patent leather shoes for boys; an elegant velvet dress with strass-studded silk satin purse for girls.

Thanks to an interview in Don't Panic, I've discovered the paper crafts of Zim and Zou, aka Thibault Zimmermann and Lucie Thomas.

Their latest project, Back to Basics, uses bright colorful paper crafted into icons from the 80's such as Polaroid cameras, giant clunky Motorola phones, floppy disks, Sony Walkman, casettes and more.
