We are very excited to announce the launch of the Pirouette blog One To Watch awards for AW17 at Playtime – Paris, Playtime – New York and Dot to Dot – London.
We decided this is the perfect time to launch these awards designed to celebrate emerging talent and to give valuable exposure to exceptional young brands working in children’ fashion and design.
Florence created Pirouette blog to help creative brands working in the children’s market to gain media exposure and business guidance. Over the years Pirouette has championed the best in children’s design becoming a valued resource for retailers who want to quickly identify a selection of brands with a creative and modern vision, obviously all whilst talking life, culture, family and health !
The awards will be curated by both Florence and myself, we’re looking for: talented/creative collections, original unique design, attention to detail, strong brand identity/imagery, high quality products, organic/sustainable.
