Designer Baby Clothes

Designer Baby ClothesBy Catherine Olivia
Everything for today’s infant who goes places.
Every year the top designers unveil their latest fashioncreations for the little people of the world. This doesn’t meanfashion designs for the Warwick Davises and Billy Bartys of theworld, nor those who don’t make in a year what Paris Hiltonleaves for a tip after lunch at Sardi’s. The little ones thatthe fashion gurus design for are infants and designer babyclothes, as bizarre as the concept seems, grow more popular eachyear. Despite the fact that the child will outgrow the garmentsin very little time, well to do parents love to ooh and aah overfashionable items designed by the likes of Christian Dior,Kimora Lee, and others. The top fashion houses produce bodysuits, bibs, booties, and bonnets that are soft to the touch,beautiful to behold, cost many times more than the typical Kmartbaby outfit and are just waiting to be urpped on by a babysuffering from colic.
Baby Dior
Perhaps the best known line of designer wear for infants comesfrom Christian Dior. Dubbed Baby Dior, the line includes itemslike the sweet 100% cotton Dior baby body suit with pink or bluesnaps, the Dior teddy bear logo on the chest, and a price tag of$55.00 from E Luxury dot com. The site is nice enough to pointout that parents who find this item attractive may also like the$115.00 Baby Dior hooded towel.
Baby Phat
Leave it to Rap pioneer and Def Jam records founder RussellSimmons to innovate a way to bring a bit of bling into thenursery. To promote his Phat Farm line of men’s hip-hop styles,Simmons had a number of small tee shirts designed with thelegend “Baby Phat” printed on them. The shirts were donned byfemale celebrities and models and garnered quite a bit ofattention. The Baby Phat line was born and Simmons made his wifeKimora Lee the line’s creative director. Baby Phat producesclothes for young girls (sorry, make that “girlz”) from theirteens all the way down to infancy. Baby Phat baby wear includestees priced from $11.00 to $18.00 and matching outfits rangingin price from $34.00 to $42.00.
Anne Geddes
One of the latest names in baby clothes is that of famedphotographer Anne Geddes. Apparently inspired by the popularityof her famous photos of babies dressed up as bumble bees,ladybugs, sunflowers, and rosebuds, Geddes has launched“annegeddesbaby,” a line of clothing for infants that will allowparents to dress their newborns as, well, bumble bees, ladybugs,sunflowers, and rosebuds. Included are pieces like the LadybugJacket ($39.50), the Bunny Suit, Hat and Booties Set ($69.50),and the Rosebud Quilt ($29.50).
Designer baby clothes may not be the easiest thing for the morefrugal parent out there to comprehend, but they’re for real andthey’re being purchased in droves. The one nice thing about thephenomena for all of the parents who can’t afford such infantileextravagancies (or who just won’t pay those kinds of prices) isthat the babies wearing these labels today will outgrow themtomorrow and a lot of the items will grace the shelves of yourlocal Salvation Army or Goodwill store sometime after that,bearing a pinned on price tag that reads $1.50.
