This week, FashionUnited readers get an exclusive look at three kidswear directions that will be key to the SS18 season. Rustic Sailor sees nautical inspirations meet textural finishes for a nostalgic aesthetic while Mini Modernist illustrates the transition of artistic and abstracted prints to kidswear. Newly emerging from the SS18 shows, Sports Day presents a retro throwback to nineties inspired sportswear.
Abstract graphics and modernist patterns are introduced to kidswear this season, as prints are composed with a naïve touch. Obscure geometrics and otherworldly characters in multi-media finishes or collaged shapes with scissor cut outlines evoke a crafty aesthetic, whilst blown-up abstractions reflect the fresh, modernist approach.
