some great stuff for kids and their parents on http://www.colchik.com/ have a look:
I like to think that it is without doubt my Nordic grandmother who passed on to me her love of sewing and clothes.
And the great-grandmother, of whom the only thing I have left is a
knitted tablecloth in warm, imaginative shades, handed down to me her taste for colour and shape.
I acquired my technique as a stylist and designer
at the ESMOD school of fashion and design in Paris, followed by three
years with different fashion designers in Paris and Berlin. Following
that, I worked on my own for several years in Paris, then in my
workshops in Syria and Lebanon, during which, in the course of several
collections, I was able to broaden my creative experience.
My three children and a few years dedicated to family life allowed me to immerse myself again in the delights of childhood – its universe, poetry and formidable energy. That's when I got the urge to create clothing which emphasizes the family bond.
From
the far-reaching travels with my husband and our three boys, 18 months
on the road travelling from Finland to China, from Uzbekistan to
Ukraine, I brought back a thousand and one impressions, lines and
colours which all together form the spirit of Colchik.
And
then when we finally arrived home, I felt that the time was right. Some
six months after parking our van in Babelsberg, close to Berlin,
Colchik was born: clothes that stand up to the test of life, at your service.
