Danefæ Kids Clothing from Denmark at Bubble London Trade Show

ELLE Children's Collection at Bubble London Trade Show


Looking to Nordic mythology and the constant Scandinavian drizzle for inspiration, Danefæ had its first big success with brightly printed ladies raincoats back in 2006.

Danefæ continues to produce them to this day, along with our ever expanding range of rainwear, outerwear, t-shirts, dresses, skirts, bodysuits, sweatshirts and knitwear for ladies, men, babies, and sticky-pawed cubs.

Danefæ colors and prints are updated each season, but the guiding line remains the same: Denmark's most legendary icons, and the warm and fuzzy inside to the chilly Northern Latitudes from which they sprung.

Danefæ Summer 2011 collection will be no exception: A full range in line with the Danefæ code of bright stripes and prints, vikings, mermaids and the North Sea's finest herring.

Marithé+François Girbaud Children's Collection Fall/Winter 2010 - Bubble London Trade Show

Marithé+François Girbaud Children's Collection Fall/Winter 2010 - Bubble London Trade Show


The Marithé+François Girbaud children's collection for Fall/Winter 2010 mirrors the "Washdelux" theme of the adult line, a response to the desire to "wash" away the entrenched notions of luxury and begin writing a new story. The collection plays with the fashion codes and bows roguishly to the glitz and ambiance of a glittering gala…but with a razor sharp edge!

Navy Delux
Rules blur and the barriers break! The silhouettes abandon the rules and indulge in all kinds of variations. Gray denim can be impeccable or ultra-"used" looking, worn with a rock'n'roll leather jacket feminized with floral studs. The light-as-air quilted jackets take on A-line shapes with a surprising sense of volume. Engraved “coat of arms” buttons and M+FG emblems subvert the uniform of young sailors on leave in a wool pea coat.

Red Delux
The staging is electric, luminescent, pulsating. The winter tone is set : a shift from shadows to light ! A range of warm luminescent colors, from orange to vermillion, is blended with a plush "crafty grey." The materials engage in eye-catching clashes, matt and shiny effects collide. Borrowed from adultswear, the outsized polyshape memory check sits alongside a rustic cavalry twill.


Black Delux
Opulence.Luxury: a Marithé+François Girbaud definition of Delux! The elegant look defines a new "casual deluxe" style, blurring the boundaries between masculine and feminine. The stripe of the men's suit appears on deconstructed jackets, worn over easygoing tapered pants. Mini-me "Washdelux" and "Boyfriend series" tee-shirts are worn over jeans — Boyfriend jeans, of course!

DKNY KIDS Autumn/Winter 2010 - Bubble London Trade Show

DKNY KIDS  Autumn/Winter 2010 - Bubble London Trade Show


From the Broadway music theaters to the Bowery underground concerts, the eclectic musical vibrations of New York have inspired a DKNY kids collection imbued with an electric and energetic attitude - just like the Big Apple! Glamorous or slightly rebellious, authentic and trendy, the DKNY Autumn/Winter 2010 collection sets a furious pace for the season!

New York City
The start of the season combines the city chic look with daring glamorous touches.
The masculine/feminine style has a casual look, lending itself to all kinds of shapes and volumes: tapered loose-fitting trousers in woven flannel, rolled up at the bottom. Like the shorts, they can be worn with clean city jackets.

City Jean
An assumed femininity blends with the military style codes, in an effervescent mix of genres! Fluid Tencel trousers are worn tied at the waist, with partially tucked-in shirts. Heavy-gauge sweaters are matched with used denims, and the woollen cloth three-quarter length coat is customised with a casual hood.

City Rock
The atmosphere becomes electric...to the rhythm of underground music, DKNY brilliantly revives the rock attitude of the late 80s. The short jacket, in an extra-small denim version, and the studded leather jacket regain their status as key pieces, mixed with bleached black jeans.

Timberland Kidswear Collection Autumn/Winter 2010 - Bubble London Trade Show

Timberland Kidswear Collection Autumn/Winter 2010 at Bubble London Trade Show


From summit to sea, the Timberland Autumn/Winter 2010 kids collection explores the many faces of an authentic, unspoiled land - New England. The outdoors and the environment preservation are the core of this collection, which resonates with the brand's commitment to environmental protection.

Drawn from the heart of Timberland’s geographical roots, the inspirations are contemporary and imbued with a new energy, from the Harvard campuses to the industrial docks of Boston... and of course the great outdoors!

Nature asserts its rights: Timberland awakens our ecological consciences with committed messages and some Earthkeepers outfits featured throughout the whole collection, designed using eco-friendly material (organic cotton, recycled polar fleece) and treatments (water prints).

To enjoy trekking in great outdoors, Timberland launches this season a new technical line inspired by the Adultswear apparel line “TMA Mountain Athletics”.

The design is functional, offering boys who are eager for freedom and movement a comfortable, daring line, without compromising on style!

ELLE Children's Collection Fall/Winter 2010 at Bubble London Trade Show

ELLE Children's Collection at Bubble London Trade Show


The ELLE children's collection offers a subtle distillation of the latest trends, decoded and reinterpreted. The 2010 Fall/Winter collection has one foot in the classroom and the other in the parks of Paris, drawing inspiration from retro-chic or contemporary looks. ELLE has created a wardrobe made up of the season's basics and irresistible fashion pieces, for a warm, light-spirited winter!

Tableau noir
As back to school period starts, ELLE allows little girls to use their imagination at the blackboard! In the streets of Paris the feel is retro-chic, slyly evoking François Truffaut's film "The 400 Blows". Recalling a schoolchild's notebook, the check pattern plays up on blouses or in skirts with an emphasized waist, in high-contrast linings. The silhouette is crafted to look light and structured. A-line dresses take on pared-down lines, while Bermuda shorts and trousers in gray stretch satin are highlighted by thin candy-pink piping.


Rendez-vous d’automne
Fall will be the new "grand season" with ELLE! On an outing with her girlfriends in the parks of Paris, our schoolgirl shows off the nuances of warm orange-tinged colors, sprinkled with flowers to enliven the autumn.  For a casual, trendy look, girls can opt for “liberty” prints on tunic dresses and on blouses to be worn with straightforward clean denim. Adorned with yarn embroidery, in boot-cut jeans or shorts with suspenders, and even in a boyish vest, denim lends itself to every variation!

Star Diva
To end the year on a beautiful note, a contemporary feminine story, imbued with dreamy poetry… to be worn in an everyday or dress-up version!  Winter is aglow with sparkling paste detailing on the tops, while slim vinyl belts emphasize the waist of velvet trousers. ELLE has its head in the clouds with an all-over print of a starry sky, or silhouetting the graceful outline of a little girl taking flight.
