It is my firm belief that every little girl should have at least one gorgeously divine dress hanging in her wardrobe that can be taken out for special occasions. Fabric choices of silk, satin and cashmere should be considered, as well as luxe embellishments. Classic cuts that retain youthful charm should be at the top of this list (we don’t need our little girls growing up too fast). Such occasions call for Parisian elegance…..whether inspired or the actual thing.
Dino e Lucia - www.boutique-dinoelucia.com – is a French label that creates the most divine dresses for girls (with a womens’ range on the way). We first covered the range in early 2010, but with the current “Alice in Wonderland” inspired range, thought a revisit was on the cards. A favourite of Sasha and Malia Obama, any piece from the range would be perfect for a special occasion. Silk, velvet and chiffon are some of the rich selection of materials, with shimmering sequins, lace detailing and choice frills adorning the hems and bodices of some pieces.
Dino e Lucia creates dresses from size 4-14. Items start at $35 Euro. The label is currently unavailable in Australia, but can be sourced at the label’s e-boutique with shipping quotes available via email query alix@boutique-dinoelucia.com.

Dino e Lucia – www.dinoelucia.fr – is a French childrens label founded and designed by Sieglinde de Plas. Sieglinde’s mother was a fashion model who worked for Balenciaga, and so she grew up surrounded by fabric and creativity.
Obsessed with fashion for as long as she can remember, motherhood was the perfect impetus for Sieglinde to launch her own childrens label Dino e Lucia. (“Dino” and “Lucia” are names that de Plas fancied as a 12-year-old – she wrote a poem about them!)
The collections are inspired by the styling in contemporary women’s and men’s market providing a perfect palate for mini fashionistas. Whilst the shapes are smaller versions of chic adult wear, there are carefully chosen details and a bright colours to suit the mood of childhood. So far, so good: Malia and Sasha Obama wore Dino e Lucia dresses for their first portrait sitting for Annie Liebovitz and Vanity Fair (the store reportedly broke the law by opening on a Sunday for them to shop!)
Currently not available Australia, Dino e Lucia has a store in Paris and also one in St Tropez, so if you are in the neighbourhood, stop by for a look! If you are like me, and are heading no further than the corner shop then sign up here to get the early word on opening of their online store.
