Taking place on 9-10 February at the new venue of Chelsea Industrial in Manhattan, the inspiration for the third edition of the Children’s Show was ‘New York, or Nowhere!’

New York embodies creativity, culture and innovation, and provides the ideal backdrop for a children’s fashion event. The show, therefore, was conceived as a celebration of the city’s iconic energy, while also spotlighting childrenswear collections from around the world.

 

 

“It’s about showcasing the heartbeat of New York through the lens of children’s fashion.”

Organised by IEG USA and set up by FB International, the Children’s Show has become an exciting fixture in the kids’ fashion calendar. This season it introduced some exciting new collaborations, unveiled some surprises, and cemented itself as a ‘must-attend’ event in New York.

 

 

Upping the ante for the winter 2025 edition, this season’s show included curated events, engaging industry talks, and workshops with special guests. The highlight was a runway show designed and styled by Aleksandra Ataca, the show’s event producer and editor of Junior Style. Following the show were cocktails sponsored by Brazilian shoe brand Bibi, bringing together industry leaders and celebrating the collections in true NYC style.

 

 

The Children’s Show also introduced a new initiative this season with the launch of a platform called TTT, where buyers registered ahead of the show to explore participating brands and schedule appointments before the event, ultimately helping to foster meaningful connections between brands and buyers.

Commenting on this season’s edition is Virginia Zingone, the event’s founder.

“This has been much more than a trade show; it was a celebration of children’s fashion at its finest. From exclusive collections to our unforgettable runway event, which has actually taken place during New York Fashion Week, (which we are proudly calling ‘The Kids Fashion Week’), even this edition the Children’s Show has created unique opportunities to highlight the importance of this vibrant industry. It’s a chance to witness the future of children’s fashion up close.”

 

 

Exhibitors comprised a ‘who’s who’ of the children’s fashion industry, including Bugatti Junior, Catimini, Monnalisa, Lili Gaufrette, BCBG MAXAZRIA Kids, Sal&Pimenta, Foque, Bibi, The New Society, Buho, Stella McCartney, Billieblush, Pureté, Marlo, Manila Grace, To Be Too, La Stupenderia, Livly, Fun&Fun, Needle & Thread, Gocco, plus many more.
