MINI A TURE Spring/Summer 2011 - A Trip to the Summer House

The inspiration for MINI A TURE's Spring / Summer 2011 collection is ‘a trip to the summer house’.

MINI A TURE children are looking forward to a fun-filled holiday. They are taking a trip to their summer house where they will spend much of their time growing their own vegetables in their allotment by the sea and playing all kinds of outdoor games.

After the long drive, the children can’t wait to get to their allotment. They change into their casual shorts, t-shirts and skirts and run as fast as they can, basking in the sunlight and balmy weather. The girls waste no time attending to their vegetables whilst the boys opt for some sports instead and start kicking a football around and bowling cricket balls to each other. They also come across and an old swing and take turns seeing who can swing the highest.

After several hours outside, the children get ready for dinner. They change into dresses, long sleeved t-shirts, comfortable trousers and cool jeans and are ready for their barbecue. They reminisce about all the fun they’ve had today and share stories. They have a light weight jacket nearby as it can get a little chilly at night....

This season’s Designer Choice program is a new dip dye program in crispy cotton. The cotton has been dip dyed using three colors for a bohemian look.

Anne Katrine Lemvigh Montag is the Design Manager at MINI A TURE. Her Spring /Summer 2011 collection captures all of MINI A TURE’s brand values, namely: high quality, functionality, attention to detail, signature color combination and contemporary design.

Danish childrenswear label, MINI A TURE, has experienced continuous growth ever since it launched in 2001 and can be found in high-end retailers throughout Europe and other selected markets.

Bonnie Baby Presents First Full Collection at Bubble London

Bonnie Baby is growing up! – It’s time to fall in love all over again. Luxury British babywear label, Bonnie Baby, has made a major expansion of their fashion range for Spring Summer 2011. The company, who has garnered a fantastic reputation and many celebrity fans, for their ultra stylish knitwear, will be increasing their collection to encompass a much broader product range for Spring Summer 2011.

The new collection will include a cute range of ultra-soft lightweight denims, gorgeous funky printed jerseys and sweet embroidered cottons that are really feminine and fresh. In addition there will be a range of jersey baby basics that come packaged in a very cool milk carton - the perfect starter kit for any stylish baby - plus a wonderful 1930’s inspired Bonnie Baby knitted collection.

The new Bonnie Baby collection has captured a real sense of innocence and fun, where babies can be babies. The collection has a vintage feel, given a contemporary twist through use of fabric and color. As you would expect from Bonnie Baby, it combines cool, contemporary styling and great attention to detail with fantastic quality and practicality.

The Bonnie Baby delicious apple motif is a really strong theme for Spring Summer 2011. The motif runs throughout the collection – either knitted, crossed stitched, embroidered or printed - and gives the whole range a very clear unity.

Another key concept for Spring Summer 2011 is co-ordination. Each piece from the collection has been designed to mix and match perfectly - so you can team a broderie anglaise puff sleeve dress with a soft denim military style jacket or a striped cardigan, and know that the look is really pulled together - essential for little fashionistas!

Tracey Samuel, founder of Bonnie Baby, explains, “Our new collection is going to really surprise people. I have had such fun designing it, particularly all the little details and special finishing ideas that make it Bonnie Baby. It is great to be expanding the brand into new areas and we are really proud of the results."
