Lola and the Boys Children's Fashion

It’s not every day that an 11-year-old gets to design a clothing line – but that’s the story behind online boutique Lola and the Boys, where former Ford model Irina Ovrutsky and her daughter/child model Lola collaborate to create distinctive but affordable clothes for fashionistas from toddlers to tweens. 

Featuring everything from boy’s harem pants covered in stars to gossamer-like lace dresses and fun mother/daughter-designed prints (think doodles, emojis and ice cream cones), the collection also includes baby wear, Mommy and Me options, and bomber jackets like the best-selling $51 satin number adorned with a unicorn surrounded by flowers and butterflies.

Parenthood is busy. It’s hard to find the time to search for the perfect party dress or new pair of pants for your little ones. That’s where Lola + the Boys comes in.  They do the hard work of hand selecting the latest and greatest in children’s fashion, so it’s easy for you to find looks that you love. 

Below are a few examples of what can be found at this trendy children's fashion boutique.

Lola and the Boys Children's Fashion Boutique

Forget plain blue jeans and lookalike tees. Former Ford model Irina Ovrutsky designs funky clothes for toddlers to tweens and sells them in her online boutique Lola and the Boys – named after her 10-year-old daughter and younger sons. 

From $29 boys’ harem pants covered in stars to a $51 satin bomber jacket featuring a unicorn surrounded by flowers and butterflies, the collection is as unique as each child – and just as fun.

Barely a year after launching, the site is getting orders from as far away as the UK, Japan and Australia – testimony to the fact that Ovrutsky is filling a gap in the child’s clothing market with the help of her own children, who frequently make suggestions in the all-in-the-family business. Looks vary in style from boho-chic to rocker-cool to suit different tastes and moods.

The Heathcoat 1808 Flare-Free Fabric Technology

A British textile manufacturer has launched its new range of flame retardant dress fabrics at the prestigious Première Vision Fabrics show in Paris this week. The Heathcoat 1808® brand of dress nets, tulles and costume fabrics incorporates their unique ‘Flare-Free’ technology.

The Flare-Free fabrics are independently tested to conform to EN71 part 2, but they go a stage further and comply with the company’s own stringent internal standard. This specifies that no residual flame should be present after the fabric is exposed to a gas flame for a specified time. This meets and exceeds the much tougher flammability requirements of the nightwear standard BS5722.

In a powerful demonstration of the products’ fire retardant properties a video has been released comparing the burn time of a child’s tutu purchased in the UK with a similar tutu in Flare-Free dress net. The video starkly shows that a typical child’s costume offers no protection to flame and will fully combust in a matter of seconds, while the Flare-Free equivalent will not burn.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeczfYk1K6U

Philip Wignall, Business Manager for Heathcoat Fabrics, believes the current European EN71 regulations for safety requirements in toys which covers flammability are not adequate to protect people’s safety, especially children. He said: “The video demonstrates that there is a definite need for more stringent controls over flame spread. Other than our Flare-Free fabrics, all alternative dress nets available for children’s costumes will simply combust in seconds, offering no protection.

“The Federation of British Retailers has proposed recommendations to modify EN71, but it would be good to see more stringent legislation specifically relating to apparel, similar to BS5722.”

Flare-Free with no detectable formaldehyde.

Heathcoat 1808 has gone a step further with ‘Flare-Free’ and is also making a range of these fabrics available under their Zero4 brand. This technology has been eight years in development to create fabrics with less than 20 parts per million of formaldehyde, which is a non-detectable level.

Philip Wignall explains: “While formaldehyde has been used for decades in washing powders and clothing, it is flammable, emits carbon monoxide when heated, and has been found to be toxic and corrosive. In 2014 it was classified as a Carcinogen Category 1B in the European REACH framework. While the risks from apparel are low we have invested in developing our Zero4 brand, giving consumers more choice in what they wear.”

Heathcoat 1808 is typically purchased by wholesalers and made available to fabric retailers or haberdashers. Consumers are advised to ask for fabric that carries the ‘Flare-Free’ logo for peace of mind that their dress net is truly flame retardant. This will also be of interest to fashion designers following its debut at the Paris Première Vision Fabrics show.

The Heathcoat 1808® range of dress net and tulle fabrics is developed and manufactured in Tiverton, Devon, UK by Heathcoat Fabrics Ltd.

Heathcoat Fabrics is showcasing its trend colours for Spring/Summer 17 at the Première Vision Fabrics show, alongside existing colour inspirations for Autumn/Winter. Included in the new product offering, all of which are designed and manufactured within their own UK plant, are the totally new zero formaldehyde soft dress net for children's clothes; stiffer Flare-Free tulles for bridal gown, prom dresses and tutu; dance and fashion dress nets; locknits, textures and technical fabrics, including their own-brand 3D spacetec® fabrics in a range of new colour and surface combinations.

The company provides a wide range of own-branded, patented high performance product solutions. It operates a total end-to-end high competency service with in-house research & development, design, testing and on-site manufacturing facilities that include quality-controlled yarn texturising, warping weaving and knitting plant and the latest advanced specialist dyeing, textile enhancement treatments and finishing.

Spring/Summer 2016 LA Kids Market at CMC

The Spring/Summer 2016 LA Kids Market will take place on the 6th floor A Wing of the California Market Center (CMC) August 3-6. Sunday, August 2nd will be open for showroom appointments. In addition to the debut of Spring 2016 lines, August Market will feature the opening of new showrooms, as well as the return of Kids Shoe Association.

Mayra's Collections, a new showroom, represents contemporary brands such as Mini Rodini, Akid, Young Soles, Rock Your Baby, Bang Bang Copenhagen, and more. "We received so many inquiries from stores on the West Coast needing more brands like ours," says Mayra Cano, Owner of Mayra's Collections. "It was something we knew we had to do. The CMC is the only place we would want to be showing. It's the best; there was never any other option for us."

Buyers cannot only expect to see new lines, but full, unedited collections of well-known and designer brands from across the world. For example, European showroom, Group Zannier, will be showing Spring/Summer 2016 collections of Catimini, 3Pommes, IKKS, Jean Bourget - as well as Junior Gaultier, Paul Smith Jr, Kenzo Kids, and Tartine et Chocolat.

"August Market is a major show for many reasons," says Stephanie LaRussa of Group Zannier. "The first is that being a European showroom, we begin our selling season early (July) and need to submit all orders for early production that begins in the Fall. The second is that we showcase our Spring/Summer collections, which are very important to our region where the warm-weather months dominate the colder ones."

In conjunction with LA Kids Market, the Kids Shoe Association (KSA) will return and host an incredible list of Kids footwear brands in one easy to shop location for buyers. KSA will take place on the 6th Floor C Wing Monday and Tuesday, August 3 and 4.

"We are looking forward to developing a regular customer base and their understanding that we will be here every Market, making it a destination show for their buying needs," says Kim Kenson of KSA. "The exhibitors loved the space and layout at the last Show, as did our retailers. We also had a significant number of cross-over buyers stop in from different markets taking place in the building."  

"Our hope is that these retailers take advantage of LAKM and KSA as a resource to find additional products and brands they can add to their merchandise assortment and increase their point of sale transactions," says Sandra Martinez of In Play Showroom. "In today's world, the consumer is looking for something fresh and new and I feel that the edition of KSA is the perfect opportunity to discover what that exactly that may be." 

In addition to footwear resources found in permanent showrooms throughout LA Kids Market, KSA will feature solid retuning brands- such as Saltwater Sandals, Skechers, JambuKD, Michael by Michael Kors, and Clarks Kids. Blowfish girls and Vince Camuto Kids will be joining the impressive roster as well.

LA Kids Market will take place Monday - Thursday, August 3-6, 2015 for the Spring/Summer 2016 Season.

The Talking Shirt

While it may be true that actions speak louder than words, words can have a powerful impact.  They have the ability to challenge and inspire or tear down and spread negativity.  The creators of The Talking Shirt are passionate about creating high quality apparel with positive messages, in hopes that the words people wear will be an extension of who they are and what they stand for.  And that ultimately this message of positivity will translate into actions that will change the world.  The Talking Shirt’s company motto (which also happens to be one of their most popular tees!) “Kindness is Always in Style” reminds us that treating others with benevolence transcends age, creed, beauty and fashion trends!

The Talking Shirt’s complete collection includes:

• Women, children and infant sizes
• T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, long sleeve tees, raglan tees and fitted tees
• Crafted in ultra soft cotton and printed in the USA
• Faith-based tees available too!!!

Say something great.

Tired of walking into her local stores and seeing negative messages on t-shirts with an, “I’m better than you” tone, Illinois-based wife and full-time mother Rachel McCurdy decided to push against the negativity—with positivity!   She also saw it as an opportunity that would allow her to make money and still stay home with her children.  What started as a part-time hobby has exploded into an inspirational business with a storefront opening in June of 2015!
