This is alongside powerhouse edits from Alexander McQueen; Burberry; Chloe; ERL; Fendi; Givenchy; Gucci; Moncler; Rick Owens; Stella McCartney; Stone Island and Versace.
Commenting is buying director, Ida Petersson. “The expansion into kidswear is a natural evolution for Browns. We felt we could really have some fun here. We want to create a destination for kids and their parents that evolves beyond clothing and a place where luxury meets the unexpected, with some surprise collaborations in the future.”
Holly Tenser, womenswear buying manager, adds; “We are really excited to offer a unique vision and curation of kidswear presented with a true Browns edge. We have some incredible brands launching that are also new to the kids’ world and will really resonate with the Browns community who have such a love for fashion. Kids’ fashion truly sparks so much joy and excitement and our favourite items are now produced in super cute mini-me sizing.”
A kidswear shoot titled ‘Honey, I Shrunk The Fashion’ marks the launch.
Shot in Alexandra Palace, London, by photographer Ronan Gallagher and styled by Ola Ebiti, the shoot is a playful spin on a glamorous fashion editorial, where the kids take control and co-produce something magical. Think mini stylists, photographers, and models – an editorial shoot through the eyes of children.
Browns has a long history of supporting new talent and providing a platform for the next generation. It was, therefore, a natural step to give the reins straight back to the kids. The children of Browns’ employees were commissioned to tap into their colourful minds and give Browns a touch of youthful, wide-eyed imagination. The result is a playful update of the iconic Browns logo. Illustrations and doodles create a series of fun, optimistic images that celebrate individuality and embody the Browns community spirit.
Browns Kidswear is available online and also in-store at Browns East, Shoreditch.
