What a great pedigree the founders of Jessie and James, a new children’s fashion label, have got. James was a former menswear designer at Vivienne Westwood and Jessica was the head pattern cutter.
The birth of their son Billy has led them to create a range for kids aged 3 months to 3 years, the 23 pieces will debut at Bubble London 19th and 20th June to be in store for summer 2012.
The first range is titled “Under Construction” and features pima cotton jersey as the main fabric, navy, red and beige the key colours. Designs are loosely based on inspiration from a Rubicks cube and feature raw edges, assymetric cutting and can be comined in different ways.

Pictures from Playtime Tokyo children’s fashion fair for winter 2011
February 27, 2011
For those of you curious as to what this fair is like I noticed there are pictures on the Playtime Tokyo website. The fair looks a smaller affair than Paris and not as eclectic.
I am loving the giant clothing display and the white balloon shrimp display though!
