Little Scandinavian

Two danish designers Annika Lofqvist and Lena Berg are behind the new Scandinavian brand Zilly Banana Kids wear for children aged 3-10.
Each collection is a limited edition and the clothes are handmade in Europe. Zilly Banana designes comfortable clothes in high quality with graphic prints and colorful applique in a naive expression mixed with happy buttons and fun seams that all together gives Zilly Banana a rather quirky yet urban style for young trendsetters.

Zilly Banana received a warm welcome at the International children’s trade show in Amsterdam, Kleine Fabriek, in July 2010. AW2010 is their second collection on the market, only available to order online at www.zillybanana.com

We met this little fellow in a playground near Soho yesterday, extremely cute and adventures, playing imaginative games with a few new pigeon friends he had made.

Dressed very comfortable and yet with an understated urban style in danish clothes -in fact after a quick chat with his mum I found out they were danish!

This little guy was wearing a cool tshirt from Molo and shoes from Portuguese label RAP, a brand that has been available in Denmark for more than 30 years. I’m not quite sure about what jeans he was wearing, but I really liked the casual turn-up style.

How to get the look:

Any funky stripy or and bold print t-shirt from Katvig or Molo will work.
We recommend I Dig Denim or Rockefella jeans but any favourite comfy pair is perfect.
Choose leather sandals of good quality, like Angulus or Bisgaard.
