Blasblog: Baby Love
November 24, 2009 2:41 pm
Suri. Shiloh. Violet. Apple. Don’t be embarrassed—I love ‘em, too. I may not be ready for a kid of my own, but today’s baby craze—crazy as it is—has me totally enthralled. We see pictures of these kids all the time on blogs and in magazines; I get press releases about the designers they’re wearing; heck, even in the recession, the billion-dollar baby industry is reported to be thriving. So it was only a matter of time before the little bambinos got their own Sartorialist-esque site, Planet Awesome Kid, devoted to the chicest of the chic.
Wait a sec. Do kids really need their own Sartorialist? Well, maybe not. But when the site’s founders, casting director Julia Samersova Adler and Women Model Management booker Christiana Tran, saw the hip threads the prepubescent set rocks these days, they decided to pay their tribute. “The idea for the site came to me one afternoon while chilling in the park with my baby daughter. I noticed all the fierce, cool, awesome kids all around,” Samersova Adler explains. She and Tran take most of the pictures themselves, but they do accept submissions as well. Their only rule: “We do not discriminate. Every child is a star—if they’re in the right outfit!” (To wit, many photos are accompanied by fashion credits.) And before the frivolity brigade charges in, let’s note that PAK helps to raise awareness for a very good cause: Global Action for Children. Its U.S. chairwoman? Shiloh’s mom.

i miss the days when children spent their days on the playground. I guess it’s passe.

By jessiekthompson on 11/24/09 at 6:09 pmPhew - feeling the pressure new moms? Not only do you have to combine your “tighten my belly, strengthen my pelvis” exercises with deciding whether or not to invest in a Balmain or Balenciaga outfit this season - but now you alsohave to make sure your child is über cool in stain resistent, dirt repelling yet stylish clothes. I absolutely love fashion but my little son is dressed in comfy clothes that can survive anything he trows at it (or most of the time on it). And in case it is ruined??? I wont weep when I throw it out.

I think it’s disgusting. Parents want to make their kids look “fierce” or cool for their own amusement. Little kids just want to have fun with clothes or fun in clothes but they really don’t care beyond that until they hit 9 or 10. If they do before that, it’s because they’ve been taught they should care and I’m not sure that’s a great thing. Kids can be adults for the majority of their lives. Can’t they just be kids for a teensy bit longer than our culture wants to give them these days?
By plumrose on 12/28/09 at 8:56 pmI’m sorry, but I believe that you ‘earn’ Chanel and I don’t think any 7 year old has done that.
