Miniature Milk Milk-Fiber Clothing: Kid-Friendly or Are You Kidding?

Kate Stahl — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:41:34 PDT

Sure, your baby often sports a milk-covered face, but would you cover his entire body in milk? That's exactly what Miniature Milk, a brand-new eco-friendly infant clothing line, suggests. The New York-based company debuts a layette collection this week, and the cow-print rompers, onesies, striped bibs, beanies, and blankets (prices range from $15 to $60) are all made from organic cotton and - get this - milk fiber, a protein that's extracted from cow’s milk.

According to Miniature Milk, milk fiber is perfect for baby clothing because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities. "We wanted to create a simple and stylish range of baby clothes that not only looks great but also incorporates a fabric that has positive attributes for the sensitive skin of babies," said Jamie Archer-Perkins, founder of Miniature Milk, in a press release. So would you let your baby drink his milk . . . and wear it, too?

Lotty Dotty Interactive Paper Doll Shirts: Ga Ga or Gag?

Rebecca M Gruber — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 08:36:19 PST

Telling your tot to "stop fidgeting with her clothes" takes on a whole new meaning these days. Paper dolls have moved off the table and onto the computer, so why shouldn't they jump to your lil one's shirts as well? Paris-based Lotty Dotty's doll shirts ($45) are just the thing for budding fashionistas who can't get enough of designing.

The interactive t-shirts allow kids to pick one of five "girls" to be silk-screened onto organic shirts. Clad in a Velcro bathing suit, the girls can then be dressed up in the included signature tutu dress and an accessory of their choosing. Additional dresses, outfits, and accessories ($12 - $30) can be purchased separately, allowing for multiple outfit changes throughout the day. The children's shirts - ranging from sizes suitable for kids three and up - are also available in adult versions. Would you buy one for your kid?

Is Kiddie Couture Blurring the Line Between Mom and Child?

Rebecca M Gruber — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:51:11 PST

We told you luxe is where it's at for tots! Gucci, Lanvin, Stella McCartney, Oscar de la Renta, and Fendi have all extended their design houses to include clothing lines with luxury pieces for pint-sized fashionistas, and it looks like mamas are lapping them up! According to NPD Group Inc. Consumer Tracking Service, Americans spent more than $32 billion on kids clothes last year - with $800 million of that spent on designer kids labels!

Over on Good Morning America this morning, Mary Pflum took an in-depth look at the world of designer kids clothes, interviewing a group of moms and tots about their thoughts on the popular trend. While the girls drooled over the haute couture looks, the moms expressed concern about the lessons the garments teach. One said it becomes hard to teach kids values like "beauty is not determined by a fancy label or a pricey garment," while another said the line between kids and parents becomes blurred when such pieces are so readily available. Do you agree?
