We’re pretty used to seeing some of the world’s most famous stars and image stylists dressed in fabulous Gucci frocks and amazing shoes from the Italian brand.

But now their kids can also rock the finest designer threads as the label is launching a new childrenswear collection.

Designed by Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini, the range will include outfits for both male and female mini fashionistas.

As well as being kitted out in dresses and trousers, they will also have shoes, accessories, gifts and sunglasses to choose from.

Sounds like it could be an expensive shopping trip for mom and dad!

The collection will be shown at Pitti Bimbo – a trade show for children’s fashions set to take place in Florence on June 24th to 26th – and features items for two age ranges, zero to two      years  and two to eight years.

It includes a gold teddy bear logo and we’re sure there’ll soon be a lot of fashionably dressed youngsters out there.

What do you think of Gucci’s decision to introduce a children’s clothing line?

I know in my last post I blasted Louis Vuitton for designing cases for products outside their fashion expertise. But when FIFA decided to collaborate with them on providing the case for this year’s cup trophy, I say design on. I am dying for the international event to begin June 11th of this year and I couldn’t think of a better company to put in charge of protecting the most important trophy in the world than Louis Vuitton.
