Some brands have been around for so long, and are so trusted, that they are ingrained in our consciousness; they are the very definition of the products they make – the Biro for pen, the Hoover for vacuum cleaner and the BabyBjörn for the baby carrier.

BabyBjorn was started in 1961 in Sweden by doting uncle, and future father, Björn Jakobson who noticed a lack of products on the market to help busy mums care for their young. The BabySitter seat was the first BabyBjorn product released, and it sparked a keen following across Europe. The BabyBjorn “Close to your Heart” baby carrier was released in 1973 as a result of research into the benefits of eye-to-eye and body contact with infants and is now a global icon of babywearing.

BabyBjorn is still run and owned by Björn Jakobson – he is CEO and wife Lillemor is Chief Designer – with a support team of 100. They have worked continuously to develop and improve their products in consultation with pediatricians, parents and babies to ensure optimum functionality and safety, and there are now over 20 different kinds of BabyBjorn products sold in 50 countries worldwide including their flagship carriers, bouncers and portacots, through to feeding and toileting equipment.

No anniversary is complete without a gift and BabyBjorn will be celebrating their 50th year with the launch of some extraordinary new products that will blow your socks off and enhance your parenting experience. Keep your eye on the BabyBjörn website and ‘like’ the BabyBjorn Australian Facebook page to get the heads up on imminent new product releases. In the meantime enjoy the story of BabyBjorn over the last 50 years, below.

This is our third and final report on the Sydney 2011 edition of the Life InStyle trade-only event, incorporating , Kids InStyle, the baby and kids component of the show. If you’re new to the show then you can catch parts 1 and 2 below.

As a mother of two little munchkins who have always refused to be covered with sheets or doonas, I have always been a huge fan of baby wraps and sleeping bags. One of the leading labels of these goods, is New Zealand company Merino Kids.  Founded in 2003 by Amie Nilsson, Merino Kids only uses nature’s best 100% natural materials to create garments that will keep your baby warm and comfortable. Merino wool offers self heat regulation meaning no need for TOG ratings, is soft and comfortable for bub, and reduces skin irritation (no itching or scratching). Sleeping bags offer a patented travel option (as do the wraps) and are a hot recommendation for baby sleep wear.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Bluebird and Honey are back again this season with their signature bold red and navy colour palette, gorgeous gift sets and whimsical animal characters. Their stand was just so charming, with wooden sleds and small conifers vivid feature points from which their products hung. My eye was drawn quickly to the red cases filled with gorgeous delights for bubs, and to the delightful girls pinafore which I’m adding to this years winter wishlist for Miss N.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

It’s almost unfair to give you a sneaky peak of the Spring/Summer 11/12 Cocoon Clothing Range as you need to get through winter to be able to actually get your hands on it. However, I’ve decided that a small glimpse is exactly what you need as a visual of what lies ahead in a few months. So, this winter whenever you’re feeling a little chilly, click back here and see what’s just around the corner.

Cocoon Clothing  is the creation of Kirsty and Susan; two mums from the same street, with kids the same age. They know kids, and also know what us mum’s are after in an outfit. New to Cocoon Clothing is a divine new silk range at affordable price points (I’m talking under $100 for a silk dress ladies!) in a bevy of gorgeous prints. In fact,  the range promises that all the girls prints are versatile enough  to take your princess from a Hawaiian beach to a secret garden. Boys have not been forgotten either with the range growing to accommodate all the requests for casual, dress and swim shorts, shirts and tees.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Eternal Creation is a label that most KSF readers would be familiar. Conceived in 1999 by Australian designer Frances Carrington, the label works with the Tibetan and local Indian communities of all faiths (now over 75 people of buddhist, Hindu and Muslim faiths) to run their own design and production workshop, the Hialaya Tailoring Centre. Everybody is part of the team and all items are ethically produced with love at the foothills of the Himalayas.

The Summer 2012 range is one to keep your eye on. I <3 the Giselle print, bright red lined flowers on a white background, that has been incorporated across the range into tops, skirts, dresses, pants…and my favourite, a gorgeous playsuit with Knickerbocker style bottoms. Sizing starts at newborn and spans to 10 years for both boys and girls.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Knuffle Kid was the first stand I made a mad beeline for on stepping into KIS. Firstly, I was finally able to lay my hands on my favourite pieces from the upcoming Passport Agogo range for winter, and secondly, I caught a glimpse of the Forest for the Trees range for Summer 11/12 (which I provide a sneaky peek for you above). Oh sweet heart palpitations – I swooned, I clutched my heart, I went all googly eyes at the pieces before me. The detail that goes into these Australian designed and made pieces always amazes me, and as the range names suggests, you can become engrossed in these details very easily.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Lauren Hinkley is a  young designer with a natural flair for creating simple but beautiful giftware for babies and toddlers. From bracelets to baby soaps, wraps, prints, stationary and handmade baby outfits, this small label has grown from Lauren’s parents giftware store to having over 300 individual items represented in a bevy of Australian stores. Proudly Australian, The Lauren Hinkley jewellery range is sophisticated enough to be worn to a special occasion without overpowering your little ones outfit. With excellent price points, many of the items are perfect gifts!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Sisters Danielle Thurston and Romi Okun are the brains behind the Australian designed and made swimwear label White Soda. With a strong fashion pedigree (their father was the founder of 80′s iconic children’s label Hangabouts), and higher education in both design and communications, it was inevitable that these girls would produce a successful label, and with their kids as inspiration, one that would be ideal for kidlets that spend much of their time close to the water.

The upcoming summer 11/12 range reminds me of a lolly shop for no reason other than a gorgeous array of richly presented bursts of colours ans styles with such names as sherbet, musk stick, and wizz fizz. I’ll be sourcing at least one swimsuit from this range for Miss N next season (she can never have enough!)

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Good quality children’s jewellery can be hard to find, especially if you want something unique and precious. I’ve been window shopping for a bracelet for Miss N for a while now, and after seeing perusing the items created by Little Lamb I now know exactly what I want – one of theirs! Each piece is made from sterling silver and/or 9CT gold, is superbly packaged and is stunning.

New to Little Lamb is House of Harriet handpainted delft (blue and white) porcelain imported from Amsterdam. I fell instantly in love with this range of divine brooches and pendants and anxiously await their arrival in a number of my favourite online stores I know snapped them up.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Miki introduced the girls at KSF to Aunty Ollie a few years ago, and ever since then there has been no going back when it comes to dressing our kidlets and even ourselves (did you see the coverage of the Baby & Kids Expo where the whole team donned a piece?). Having a sneak peek of the Spring / Summer 2011 range will have the other girls green with envy, but I was sure to make lots of shots so I could reveal some of the new pieces to come our way.

For girls you will see the reemergence of red in flounce dresses, dress up dresses  and rompers. My favourite however, is the bird themed prints – hummingbird and finches – particularly in the pearl style dress; and the rich purple toned florals. The boys can revel in St Tropez shorts and a continued expansion of prints for the Little Man Shirt.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

I’m a pretty sentimental type of girl, so when I came across Bajo wooden toys, I had flashbacks to my own childhood and found myself lovingly caressing many of the smaller toys, in particular the rocking horse. See my grandfather was a wood turner, and with a strong polish heritage this range just pulled at the heartstrings.

Nothing surpasses a good quality wooden toy. They are a  safe natural alternative to mass produced plastic items, and each is truly unique with growth rings very similar to finger prints – no two the same. Wotjek (pronounced “Voy-tek”) developed the range is a small Polish village for his daughter. Word spread in waves, and the range is now international! The wood selection is amazing: beech, birch, sycamore maple, oak and cherry wood and all paints, adhesives and coatings are certified non-toxic. Bajo products start from around $12.00.

The Sydney 2011 edition of the Life InStyle trade-only event, incorporating , Kids InStyle, the baby and kids component of the show, was held at the Hordern Pavilion in Moore Park’s Entertainment Quarter, Australia, last weekend. This is the part 2 of our 3 part reportage.

I’m a big fan of 1950s style, so when I spotted the little swimming cap on the model at the Alfie and Nina stand, I had to stop and peruse the wares. I have a squad of water babies in my house, so I am always on the look out for durable yet stylish swimwear which will make a statement on the beack whilst also providing some protection from the blasting rays of the sun. Alfie and Nina swimwear ticks all the boxes.

Alfie and Nina launched two years ago and is the brainchild of Melbourne based Josephine Webster, who named the label after her 5 year old daughter, Nina, and 2 year old son, Alfie. With a background in costume, film and textiles, Josephine understands the importance of colour, lines and detail and has used this to create exclusive prints for her range. The material for all the suits is made and screen printed right here in Australia.

In the upcoming spring/summer collection ready for release in August, you’ll see a movement towards brighter colours including dusty blues and oranges. Zip-up swimsuits are available for boys and girls from birth to 3 years, whilst the rashies, bathers and swimming trunks are available for boys and girls from size 1-7. Prices start at around $39.00.  All products within the range are 50 SPF+ and tested chlorine resistant.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Mothers of tweens listen up:  I have found the most glorious line of tween wear for your girls. Henrietta Cheshire has heard your desire to find a range of quality, Australian Made, age appropriate wear for your girls to don for parties, outings and regular fun times. The cut will flatter without being provocative, the colours are stylish, and the designs maintain a pull for girls to actually wear them. Let me introduce you to One Sunday, a proudly Australian made label for girls 8-14.

Henrietta, mother of three gorgeous girls, is one creative mumma (just check out her blog – she put her flair for the unique to good use for her husband’s 40th birthday, hand embroidering him a poem from her own hair!). Having procured a fine arts degree many years ago, then biding her time in interior design, she has put her skills towards creating a range that her girls could wear and stand out from the crowd for all the right reasons.

With a limited run of 40 pieces per design (that’s just 10 pieces per size), your daughter is unlikely to find anyone else within her circle with these pieces. The spring/summer 2011/12 range are names after the places Henrietta would like to visit – find “Bilboa” and “Capri” amongst the group. My favourite – the Bilboa (the red dress above) is made from cotton with metal shot, which means it doesn’t need to be ironed, maintains its shape, and has a real shimmer to it.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Seedling range is one of my favourite gift ideas for both my own children and for friends. The idea of learning through play is a philosophy that I hold dear to my heart and this range of kits embraces this very belief with its creation of product kits that utilise real materials and tools for little hands to manipulate and construct.

The Seedling label germinated in 2006 when the production team couldn’t find a meaningful gift for youngsters. The product range started with 4 items and has expanded to over 40 which are now sold throughout the world. Watch out for the new items coming soon including new science experiments (including crystal growing), Artwork kits, Shields, worm farm kit, picture frame kits (great for Mother’s Day) and messenger bags.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kids spend over half their time asleep. For this very reason, I invest in quality, durable and comfortable pyjamas every single season. My first port of call is always Snugglebum. For starters, they’re super cute (the sleepers remind me of Michael in Disney’s Peter Pan!), and they always last the entire season and beyond despite ridiculous amounts of washing and wear.

Of course, I had to pop past the Snugglebum stand and grab the Melanie to find out what is coming up for the range. Guess what? Very very soon you will find Snugglebum doona covers that match the very pyjamas that you’re putting on your wee one. Watch this space!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

In 2002, Fabio Cattafi became an Uncle for the first time. This event inspired Fabio, a talented theatre performer, to start kidswear label Zephire Generation. Growing from a market stall at the Queen Victoria Markets in Melbourne, to a label now produced in the same factory that makes the likes of Alannah Hill and Dangerfield, Zephire Generation can now be found stocked in some of our favourite kids fashion stores across Australia and New Zealand.

Zephire Generation’s pulsating lines of coolness make it just perfect for funky monkeys wanting something to add to their street cred repertoire. A bold colour palette, energetic patterns and a mixture of textures will keep this label at the cutting edge of style for young funksters from 3-14.

Once upon a time Joanne was happily working as a neuropsychologist. When she became pregnant and gave birth to daughter, Amélie, the experience took her breath away. Amélie became her inspiration and muse and soon after Little Chillies was born.

Heavily influenced by Parisian chic styling and fabrics, Little Chillies is an opulent range of shoes, garments and toys for little boys and girls. A family owned business spanning three generations and over 35 years of sewing experience, each and every item in the range is designed and made right here in Australia support ethical making practices and the Australian textile industry. Me eye was immediately drawn to the Blossom dress in the above picture which comes in two colour-ways “rabbit” (as above) and “pink”, is made from a silk cotton blend with a handmade silk flower addition.  The winter collection is available now.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

If you haven’t come across Mae fabric removable, reusable wall decals before you need to know a few things. 1. The fabric is a polyester weave with a water based adhesive which means they have no pvc’s, are bio degradable and are non toxic. 2. They can be used over and over again, removed from the wall, repositioned, reapplied, even stomped on and will STILL stick. 3. You can wash them 4. They stick on almost every surface 5. They’re proudly designed and made in Australia, and 6. They are possibly the most stylish decals on the market.

New items for kids to watch out for: the new pirate ship; circus (including my favourite – the tattooed lady); robots, butterflies and creepy crawlies; and for adults, photo dots; rain clouds; message tiles; and swallows.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Baobab‘s easy to wear, comfortable, yet stylish, range has all of us here at KidStyleFile beaming time and time again. Durable, easy washing, easy wearing 100% organic cotton shapes sustain their style through the season, and burst of vibrant colours make the pieces statement pieces when needed. Designed by Aussie mums for Aussie mums, the label finds itself included in my kidlets wardrobe each and every season, and I know since previewing the upcoming range that they will feature yet again.

Bold blue with red cuffs, pockets and neck line with a confetti like pattern strewn across it the Baobab Circle Pocket Dress must be the stand out piece for Winter 2011. Also, shhhhh….there are a few sneaky peaks of the ss11/12 collection above.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Fans of eco and kid-friendly style should not miss Little Armourie, a label whose base philosophy is “Gorgeously safe ~ Practically comfortable ~ Divinely soft ~ Confidently modern”.

All cotton used in the production of garments for the range is 100% organic, is certified by ETKO and has received the GOTS certification. This extends to the dyes used (see here for more details).

Whilst upholding strong ethical standards for the production of the Little Armourie, the girls behind the label have ensured that they haven’t done so at the expense of style. The prints are exclusive to the range, and each design is made to ensure it fits well and stands out. The label is unique, combining thoughtful cuts and silhouettes within a spectrum of pastel colour swatches.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Bold colours, sleek designs, and robust images: the fusion of materials and the combination of monochrome colour swatches provokes strong flashbacks to visits to the postmodern section of the art gallery. Add an extra dash of quirkiness and you have The Daniella Rosen Collection.

Elephants, hearts, hot air balloons, sewing machine and more in brooch, necklace, hairclip and paperclip form – pick your fancy, they’re all covered in this collection. My favourites? The Penny Farthing brooch and birdcage pendant.

The Sydney 2011 edition of the Life InStyle trade-only event, incorporating , Kids InStyle, the baby and kids component of the show, was held at the Hordern Pavilion in Moore Park’s Entertainment Quarter, Australia, last weekend. Showcasing around 200 baby and kids brands, and over 300 lifestyle and homewares brands, I was awed by the quality of the exhibitor produce and displays, and producing this issue of KidStyleFile’s  Best In Show picks has proven to be one of my hardest assignments yet.

Strong trends noticed at the show included the continuation of nostalgic and retro themese in fashion collections, a definite movement towards bold colours, particularly red, the re-emergence of pastel paisleys, and an emphasis on quality and ethical products.

Without, further ado, please find here,  the first 10 of our top 30 picks from Kids InStyle, Sydney 2011.

Have you ever had that feeling that you’ve come across something very special? As soon as I spotted Pigeonhole Kids I just knew that I had happened across something that was far from run of the mill kidswear. It was quirky, colourful….different. There is a certain preppy feel to many of the garments for boys.

For Western Australian readers, you are certainly already well aware of Pigeonhole who have had a significant presence in the adult fashion world of Perth since the opening of their first store in October 2007 (to view their stores and locations click here). Johann Kim – owner/designer of Pigeonhole Kids natural progression into children’s apparel  sees his Korean heritage edging its way into many of his designs, and his own natural style bombarding the range.

Browsing the boys racks I had visions of Richie Cunningham, but with edge. For the girls, the Rose Coat (see second image below) is simply divine and the hair pins – well you have your pick of volumes of super cute buttons in bright colours, wooden bunnies, roses, hearts and so much more. My pick just has to be the square button clips.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Minnetonka Moccasins – have a rich history. 60 years young, the American designed and made label has been inspired by the countries rich American Indian history to produce their range of modern moccasins. They still make a number of traditional styles, but have also designed many that will cope with the modern world of asphalt and gravel.  Minnetonka Moccasins are a celebrity favourite, worn by the likes of Kate Moss, and have been picked up by Sportsgirl in women sizes. Teamed with a pair of skinny jeans, they are certain to rock this winter. Watch this space for stockists.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Wishbone Design‘s first prototype was developed in a teeny tiny bathroom of Rich and Jen’s New York apartment. Rich, a country kid at heart, was on a quest to provide their children with a taste of the childhood that he had experienced; a childhood of outdoor fun and excitement.

The sustainably designed, innovative 3 in 1 Wishbone bike was revealed to much applause. It begins with three wheels for stability for the one year old toddler, converting to a two wheeler which can then be flipped when your kidlet reaches 4-5 years old for a larger frame. Rich tells me that your kidlet will usually then progress to a two wheeler pedal bike without training wheels! Revealed at KIS was the Limited Edition Wollemi design in celebration of 2011 International Year of Forests with an indigenous Australian flavour.

Right on the back of the 2011 New York Toy Fair, Australian buyers were able to glimpse the newest Wishbone design – the Flip. This eye catching number in a sleek curve design with bold red features introduces a 2 in 1 concept to kids rockers. Suiting ages 1 through to 5, the flip transforms from a rocker to a ride on in literal seconds and even has a storage space ready for your kidlet to place their favoured items to be moved around at their will. I just know this will be a favourite on birthday lists this year.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Tea Princess never fails to impress me, and the Autumn/Winter 2011 collection is no exception. Dubbed the “English Pony” collection, you’ll find gorgeous jodhpur style leggings to wear with leather boots, divine dresses in Tea Princess signature pastels with lace detailing and embellishments, and the pièce de résistance – an English style riding jacket which is my absolute must have this winter.  The collection has been inspired by three little girls, Bella, Annie and Gigi, whose favourite past time is riding their ponies in the English countryside. Watch out for Bella with her pony when the range launches in the coming weeks. I feel a mixture of boho and romantic flavours throughout the range, and just love the attention to detailing that Tea Princess has become renowned for – just look at the lace!

Tea Princess has taken the UK by storm, with Harvey Nichols snatching up the collection and doubling their last order! This label is one to watch for its whimsical, dreamy feel.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

As a little girl, sitting on my nan’s lap, I learned to crochet and knit. I was totally enthralled when we sourced a pattern book which stepped you through the process of hand knitting soft animals. As soon as I came across the and the little dog laughed stand I was immediately taken back to those times. Overwhelmed with nostalgia, I perused the upcoming range. Kylie Platt, the Australian designer has drawn on her own childhood to create a number of fun, whimsical pieces that evoke an old world charm. 100% cotton handknitted puppies grabbed my attention. Softer than anything I made as a child, more beautiful and with the perfect combination of modern touches and the traditional make these an item to grab for baby showers and for newborn gifts. Of course, and the little dog laugh have some brand new fashion pieces for their little fans. Denim bloomers are on their way, as well as a gorgeous charcoal smock dress among my favourites.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Bursting out from the market scene, Boohoo? is a young Australian designed label certain to become a favourite among the kids fashion devotees. Featuring pieces across the 0-7 age range for both boys and girls, you’ll find exclusive prints and the most delectable designs. The summer 2011/12 range features spectacular paisley, navy creams, peach, pastels and bold colour prints perfect for girls in stunning dresses, playsuits and bloomers, whilst the boys won’t be disappointed with cheeky boardshorts (watch out for the Walk Short in Palm) and statement graphic t-shirts exclusive to the Boohoo? label. Available in August/September 2010, this is one label to watch out for.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Cocoon Couture showcased their newest products within a very vibrant and fun stand. I oohed and ahhed as I spotted the latest addition – two new wall sticker ranges (Enchanted Wood and Love Struck)! Oh my, these will take your breath away. Cheeky squirrels, forest butterflies, dreamy owls and early birds are among the menagerie of animals that could become feature pieces on your nursery wall – let your imagination run wild. Of course, all of the Cocoon Couture products tie in with each other including the new denim bean bags and wooden money boxes. Watch out for the newest characters to join the team!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Lilly and Sid is one of the latest UK labels to hit our Aussies shores. All 100% cotton and fully coordinated across the range (that means you can mix and match everything!), the jersey and knitwear products will be delightful additions to any infants wardrobe. The signature black polka dot pattern runs across the range and ties all og the pieces together. Watch out for a July release and keep your eye out for Betty Cat, Alf Bear and Boo Rabbit!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

No Added Sugar from the UK turns ten this year and is celebrating by crossing the great blue sea and launching in Australia. Mum Deborah Medhurst  started the label with a simple desire to create witty t-shirts. She has retained this original idea with some rather sweet, yet amusing tees such as “It’s a Girl Thing”, “Lock Up Your Daughters”, ” Queen Bee” and “My Heart Belomgs to Daddy” but has also branched out, creating a full range of year long staples and seasonal wear. Manufactured in Portugal (except the tights which are made in France), and spanning ages 0-12 years, the label is durable and stylish and will be ripe for the picking shortly.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

As an avid Cheeky Chickies fan, having stalked the range since it’s debut  (or should I say hatching) only a few years ago, I just had to catch a glimpse of the Spring/Summer 2011/12 range. Deni has outdone herself, and I am certain that this is the best range from the label yet! The manufacturing process behind this label is awe inspiring: the material is knitted from organic cotton in QLD, dyed in Melbourne and then made in Sydney. Oh yes people, feast your eyes on a thoroughly designed and made Australian made label. New to the range is some gorgeous handscreen printed  organic cotton/hemp muslin additions to the apparel – just look at the peacocks on the jumpsuit above; more additions to their accessory range and so much more.
