Playtime Paris had over 500 labels exhibiting this time round so finding the Pirouette One to Watch winners took a bit of footwork, but boy was it worth it. It’s important to say how impressed we were with the brands in the ‘New Now’ space, the emerging talent in this section was really great to see with each label exhibiting their own unique selling points. It was a shame not to have more awards to give out.
Following our London winners here are our Pirouette One to Watch winners from Playtime Paris ‘Children’s Fashion & Accessories’ and ‘Children’s Design’ … (next stop New York)
The Pirouette One to Watch Playtime Paris Winners
Children’s Fashion and Accessories
Lulaland
Lula Aldunate the designer of Brooklyn based children’s fashion label Lulaland puts a huge amount of work into her collection. The Lulaland collection is incredibly detailed, all the prints are originals designs by Lula, printed on to organic materials. The label has a lovely mix match affect, with the majority of pieces unisex. This is a beautifully fun and conscientious collection of quality pieces designed to last. Lulaland will be exhibiting at Playtime New York this weekend, go check their AW17 collection out. We love the Aztec Pineapple print !
Children’s Design
Bonjour
We fell in love with the home line from Bonjour. Stylist and designer Anne Millet’s beautiful hand block printed vintage flowers on moss green background really caught our eye. The collection ‘Petite chambre noire’ and it’s photography is unique and truly enchanting. The ceramic lamps and the days of the week frilled knickers, beautiful !
