Jazzed up AW10 news from Christina Rohde

Scandinavian mum — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:48:22 +0000

Being a pioneer in creating Scandinavian children’s designer wear danish designer Christina Rohde started up back in 1991. The label is known for a romantic, nostalgic almost bohemian look with their loose and flowery print on soft cotton made into the most comfortable yet stylish garments.
However it seems like the label Christina Rohde are renewing themselves slightly this season, or so it seems from their presentation of the collection.

And some more AW pics, only a bit more like how we used to know Christina Rohde

If you look closely many of the garments are still the same, with the same typical Christina Rohde signature cut and finish.
So, what do you prefer? The more nostalgic look or the new almost “geek chic” style?

Scandinavian mum — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:46:34 +0000

Autumn and winter in Scandinavia is crisp and cold often with a clear sky where after a stroll through the beautiful landscape in green turning yellow, red and brown you can relax with true home comforts in front of an open log fire with the flicker and glow of candles. The AW10 collection from Danish designer brand Wheat is based on classic styles with soft harmonious colours that set the trend, using natural fabrics and materials they remain functional but still cater to children´s daily needs.

Marmar Copenhagen discreet and utterly irresistible

Scandinavian mum — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 09:04:10 +0000

As one of the former head designers at well known label Mini A Ture danish designer Marlene Anine Holmboe had all the expertise and experience to start her own brand, Marmar Copenhagen, summer 2008.
With a goal to achieve toned down elegance for children, where romantic appearance and sharp graphic prints are the contrasts the label strives to offer a window into a world of fashion for little people that creates its own subtle style statement.

With detailing restricted to only the most important elements and muted colour tones, it can almost come as a surprise to find an eye-catching twist in their collection. MarMar Copenhagen is contrasting mix of contemporary functionalism and classic vintage.

Nostalgic retro design by Holly’s

Scandinavian mum — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 09:59:22 +0000

Holly’s was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2002 when Britt Bonnesen and Camilla Anderson desicede to give the 70s four-leaf clover new life.

Initially they launched only a baby collection but as the retro design got a lot of positive feedback they were encouraged to develop Holly’s further and their clothes are now available for all children -and their mummies!

I discovered Holly’s for the first time in my favourite children’s fashion shop in Oslo, Shabby. It must have been in 2003 – 2004, I saw the soft cotton underwear and the super cute little baby hats for the first time.

The four-leaf clover print has become an integral part of each collection with the basics and then a few new variations every season.

Picture to the left shows the simply divine Holly’s Coral Cotton Clover Baby Romper, was £24.00 now £15.60 at Yellow Lolly
