Appaman

Take a step back to the '70s this Spring! Brooklyn-based Appaman, whose street-chic line of kids clothes attract Hollywood tots and more, invited us to an exclusive sneak peek at their Spring 2011 line, and all I can say is it's going to be a colorful season.

Inspired by the playfulness of Japanese style, which tends to include more cartoon designs and bright colors, the Spring collection is made up of a number of hip t-shirt designs, including a collaboration with SRC, a New York street art team known for its graffiti art (though the group's signature spray can is replaced with paintbrush for the junior set!). Swim, track, and camp shorts, capri jeggings, and an adorable four-layer twirly skirt round up the base of the line.

But the highlight is the boys' English-style mod suit with a tapered leg. The company's founder and lead designer, Harald Husum, was "inspired by the hipster Brooklyn moms who go all out with their children. It's prepster, superhip." With its monkey lining and cool detailing, parents won't have a tough time convincing tots to don the suit for an upcoming wedding or special party.

Brooklyn has never looked so cool! Appaman, the Brooklyn-based, ultra-cool street chic line for kids, is unveiling its Fall 2010 collection today and it is an 80's redux with a focus on oversized sweater dresses, faux leather motorcycle jackets, and denim pieces. The company's popular puffy coats (worn by Moses Martin and Ryder Robinson in the past) return in a unisex metallic silver, as well as classic black and hot pink versions and are joined by two new coats this year – a zipped fleece jacket and a faux-fur lined puffer paying homage to the 100th anniversary of the first exploration of the South Pole. A Western-inspired denim dress and a hooded denim and sweatshirt mid-weight jacket add to the collection, while a large selection of fun and age-appropriate graphic tees round out the pieces. We dare you to not drool over the sure-to-be popular line!
