Recently my son's little four-year-old girl friend arrived at our house wearing a very hip and stylish Hannah Montana ensemble. I, of course, have a boy, and have not been privy to the Hannah craze. I was surprised that this little tyke was completely informed and up to speed on all things in Montanaville. When I spoke to another friend who has six-year-old twin girls, he said that they know everything there is to know about the show, and dressing like the lead character, well, duh... of course they do......Read More |

WHEN Samantha Meiler shops for her son, she has a very specific look in mind: designer jeans, velour track suits, L.A.M.B. sneakers, a sporty-urban vibe.
“My son’s style is very Kingston,” she says, referring to Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s boy. “I make no qualms about it. I see pictures of Kingston and I say, ‘I want that outfit for my son.’”
Of course, lil’ Rossdale is still a toddler, and Meiler’s son is just 21 months old. But they’re part of a growing set of pint-sized fashion plates, wearing shrunken-down versions of trendy adult clothes.
In the last few years, the obsession with dressing little kids like Dogtown skaters, Malibu moms and even Upper East Side socialites has hit a new, Suri-high level.
More clothing companies than ever are producing what the rag trade refers to as mini-me clothes on every price level. Marquee American designers, such as Phillip Lim and Marc Jacobs, are turning out Lilliputian renditions of clothes that sail down the runway each season....Read More |

With summer here and the kids outside in full force, the dreaded battle of wearing sun protection arises yet again. I don't know about yours, but my three-and-a-half year old refuses to wear a hat. It's a constant battle that escalates into a full on tug-of-war ever y time we venture outside. I have tried every style of head covering, every color and every option, only to have them lost, left and destroyed at every turn.
Sunscreen is no easier task. In fact, wrestling a monkey covered in cooking oil would be easier than administering the smallest dollop on my son's skin. He seems to love the sun, and thankfully he was born with the kind of skin that can tolerate it, but for my own peace of mind, I am left finding alternate and unique ways to keep him protected and safe outdoors.
This was one of the reasons why I was inspired to create a children's clothing company. At AGOO APPAREL we make stylish, active clothes for kids on the move, using 100% UV protected material. Our garments are all about fashion and function combined. Additionally, they have wick-away fibres that keep sweat away from the skin, eliminating any chills or possible overheating, stain resistance and anti bacterial properties.....Read More |

| Merrill Guerra of Ypsilanti, Mich., used to despair when buying clothes for her overweight daughter Gabi, now 11. Older children's sizes that fit Gabi's torso would be too long in the pant legs and shirtsleeves, and the styles were often too sexy for a young girl. "When I talked to other girlfriends, I realized I was not alone in my frustrations," Guerra says. So she decided to form RealKidz, a plus-sized clothing company for girls ages 5 to 12. She started selling capris, leggings, and T-shirts online in May and plans to roll out a back-to-school line this August...Read More |
