The world of childrenswear, as well as that of children’s books, are both able to reveal their timeless magic. 2020 Pitti Bimbo, the International fair of childrenswear and the key-event for presenting the new lifestyle trends for kids’ fashion, celebrated its 90th edition with an ideal showcase for children of all ages.

Three days offering an extraordinary international overview ranging from designer labels to small experimental brands.

Emporio Armani Junior Fall/ Winter 2020-2021 Collection.

For girls, the Emporio Armani Junior Fall/ Winter 2020-2021 Collection offers dresses with all-over prints, jumpsuits, and denim, velvet and houndstooth outfits. The logo is seen in a tape version on trousers and dresses, while the colour palette features various shades of pink, blue, black and white. For boys, there are bomber jackets and trousers in back-to-school versions in red and blue, as well as elegant suits in grey and blue with sporty details. The logo theme appears as an all-over print, a tone-on-tone tape execution on velvet, and as a print on sweatshirts, outerwear and trousers.

The ‘Mini Me’ idea is always present in Emporio Armani Junior, with the shapes and fabrics of garments taking inspiration from the Emporio Armani adult wardrobe, and used here in a more fun way. Prints and graphics are also “borrowed” from the grown- up world of Emporio Armani to create a broad and complete wardrobe, which includes casual looks, sportswear and outfits for formal occasions.

New for the 2020 season, the ‘Mini Me’ theme has now been extended to the baby category (from six to 36 months), with shapes and themes re-imagined in a romantic version for baby girls, and reconfigured with more playful elements for baby boys. The Manga Bear, with its unmistakable character, is ever-present on baby sets and accessories. The offer is completed by accessories: brightly-coloured shoes, hiking boots and combat boots, as well as backpacks and pouches featuring the Emporio Armani eagle logo.

Emilio Pucci Junior Fall/ Winter 2020/2021 collection

Season after season, the Emilio Pucci girls’ line reinforces its own identity by confidently developing iconic motifs and colors in a surprising play of intarsia and chromatic matchings. Heliconia once again proposes itself as the most iconic theme of the collection. Monreale lives in dailywear, with its sparkling and energetic patterns that convey a contemporary and modern mood to the garments. Mini Me translates the Siren’s Song theme of the women’s ready-to-wear collection.

Petit Bateau and Treedom – Together for Nature

Petit Bateau, the historic French maison of clothing and underwear for children and Treedom, the only online platform in the world for the remote planting of trees, joined forces in promoting an eco-friendly culture with a concrete initiative of environmental and social sustainability. The project was presented on the occasion of the ninetieth edition of Pitti Bimbo Italy.

Petit Bateau will propose in its boutiques and direct stores an exclusive newborn kit in organic cotton, with each purchase including the planting of a tree species as part of Treedom’s agroforestry projects. With this gift, it will be possible to associate the child’s name with the tree, a strong message that will allow the child to grow up with special sensitivity to nature.

The project aims to celebrate the choice of the brand to create, starting that same year, 100% of its Newborn collection in organic cotton.

The Monnalisa Fall Winter 2020 Fashion Show – The magic of an ancient show combined with the great excitement of fashion.

While the children get ready and makefriends in the backstage, the spectators were enraptured by the gigantic tent, the performances of the artists, and the long runwayon which many very young models parade. 30 minutes of emotion ending with the public warmly applauding our stylists.
