Hasta La Ideas

Designing children’s clothing seems a natural move for Stella McCartney: fashion mogul, mother, and famed “child of.” With a slew of successful collaborations (Adidas, LeSportsac, H&M) under her faux leather belt, McCartney has just inked a deal to create a collection of childrenswear for Gap, which eschews articles both definite and indefinite. Expected to launch in November, the limited edition collection will be carried in select GapKids and babyGap stores in the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Ireland, and Japan, as well as online in the U.S., according to a press release issued today by Gap Inc. So can we expect impossibly cool, dusky-hued separates for the littlest fashionistas? All we know is that they’ll be affordable. “For years now I’ve wanted to create a collection for kids, it’s something I’ve often been asked about,” said McCartney. “I believe that kids clothing should be more accessibly priced, which is particularly important at the moment given the current climate. It’s really exciting for us to do a boys and girls collection for the first time.”
