A little festive nod there.
Anyone else in the seasonal spirit?
My true love didn’t give these to me (well you could say they did, I do love designing and researching kidswear, but no,) they are my gift to you.
Filled with graphic themes that have been coming through in kids retail big and small, paired with colour palettes to help your collection feel fresh in the coming year.
The detail checkers among you will notice this is actually a bakers dozen of trend boards and motif trackers from 2026.
I just couldn’t help myself, sneaking in a cosy little Christmas trend on the end there.
Building these mood boards for the kidswear sector sharing trending motifs and trend led colour palettes has made me pause and reflect on how trend has been serving us in childrenswear over the past few years - a little less seasonally and with a little more longevity - more on that in a future post.
Less focus on what’s trending for SS27 and AW27 as separate entities and more on how the graphics can flow through seasons. Supporting brands in adapting their offering for shifting weather patterns and buying habits - particularly in the smaller indie and start up sectors.
Enough talking, go treat your eyes to some fun artwork and colour.
