With a history of supplying one off ornately decorated shoes to Oscar nominees the new children’s footwear range from Stuart Weitzman was never going to be subtle.
In the UK in a very small way this summer and with more expansion and the new designs for kids shown here for next winter these decorated shoes and boots do have an ahhh factor to them.
The little baby pumps with pom poms and bows in animal prints and silver printed spots are very smart and sweet and with toddler sized studded suede pull on bootees and sophisticated studded and stone decorated pumps and boots for older girls this really is a super smart range.

Ciff Kids children’s fashion from Copenhagen for summer 2011
August 20, 2010
The other main fashion fair last week in Copenhagen was Ciff Kids. Larger and more commercial than CPH Kids it offers a mainstream selection with a few more individual labels as well. See a video of the fashion show here.
There was an emphasis here on bolder colour and prints in a tropical theme as well as softer sorbet pastels and lace trims, many of the exhibitors I had already seen at Pitti Bimbo in Florence or Bubble London so there was not so much that was new and trend led to discover.
My favorites are below;
Lice by Ugly trad Norwegian style cotton knit babygro
Green Cotton Eco friendly organic range
Soft shades for Noa Noa
Cute baby romper from How to Kiss a Frog
Great bag from April Showers
Petit Nord delicate suedes in pastel shades
A good selection of baby sized Havianas

Camper shoes are well known for their artsy appeal and collabarations with leading designers so it is always interesting to see what they come up with for the younger creatives amongst us.
For next winter would be Jackson Pollocks are supplied with paint splashed desert boot while babies have some sweet white mice to decorate their toes.
While for us mums Bernhard Willhelm has designed some stack heel platforms with a 70’s feel which while sturdy will turn a few heads on the school run.

Designers have been getting busy updating the classic baby shoe with some beautiful results.
One of the new baby shoe labels here in the UK is the imported label Baby Bloch who have a huge variety of prints and finishes all based on the ballerina style slipper.
Their kids and adult ranges are pretty good too but here are a couple of pairs from their too cute baby range. Bloch is an Australian company founded in 1932 to cater for professional dancers who excelled in hand made styles for ballerina’s. www.babybloch.com
